You Ruined This City Lyrics

I wish I could drive across the country

In a car I could rely on overnight

I wish I could be there by the morning

Drinking coffee with sunrise in my sight

The truth is I was written by a man who didn't know just what he wanted

And even less on where to go from here

I wish I could tell you how my mind thinks

Or that it gets to these dark places to spite my fear

Listen close, I'll tell you what I know

The truth is i don't know where I can go, but

You ruined this city

You ruined all the trees

You ruined this city for me

You ruined this city

You ruined the breeze

You ruined this city for me

Every single morning I think about the toll

That it would take to move this week

Every day I think about my friends

And wonder if there's memories of me they'd keep

The truth is I was written by a man who didn't know what he believed

And even less on what it means

Every night I lay in bed and pray to whoever wants to hear me

That today the day will be

You ruined this city

You ruined all the trees

You ruined this city for me

You ruined this city

You ruined the breeze

You ruined this city for me

You ruined this city

You ruined all the street lights

You ruined this city for me

You ruined this city

You ruined all the sidewalks

You ruined this city for me
