City Across The Bay


You turned this Boys’ High boy into a romantic
Under the pine, your eyes are starlit
‘Cause I’ve been dropping my roots down, they’re growing deeper every day
You can’t stop talking about the city right across the bay

All these disagreements just keep adding up
Now these topics are off the table ‘cause we’ll surely say too much
Seems you’ve stopped inviting me out with your friends
And when you do you make cheap jokes at my expense
And I don’t need this, you don’t need me
I don’t need this, you don’t need me

You never asked for this commitment and those old ideas fill you with such dread
But you can have it both ways and I’ll be there to put you to bed
‘Cause I’ve been dropping my roots down, they’re growing right into the clay
You’re out walking around the garden ripe with thoughts you can’t explain

Again and again telling me that you need your space
But how do I make you want to talk about your day
Tried making a fuss whenever you come home
But more and more you just want to be left alone
And I don’t need this, you don’t need me
I don’t need this, you don’t need me

Now everything keeps coming back to our walk that night
And I reckon I couldn’t see shit in that starlight
And I don’t need this, you don’t need me
I don’t need this, you don’t need me
