lyrics

Got these Big Hill City blues
Slowly disconnecting
Pulling up the roots
Looking high and low
For something new

The sky here is defined
By shapes we make
The ground coated with concrete
Like icing on a cake
I’m all alone staring at this view
And I sit here by the window
Thinking of a tune
Yeah I sit here by the window

I don’t know what it is about
The days that brings me down
I got what I wanted
Pulled my feet out of the ground
Now I’m free-floating and my head’s
Stuck in the clouds
I sit here by the window
Thinking of you

Sometimes a fanciful flight
Pulls me back across the sea
Where everything feels right
The earth is rich and dark
The sky is bright

I’m pulled back to the window

Got these Big Hill City blues
Slowly disconnecting
Pulling hair out at the roots
All alone thinking of a tune
About you
