sister cities - the get ahead lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
four thousand, four hundred and forty
miles across an ocean dark and deep
did the cherry blossoms bloom
in a soft and sudden spring?
are you sitting, writing
thinking the same thing?

[verse]
used to be life
moved so slowly;
i felt i was the only
one of my kind
today i look around
you’re the only one i’ll tell
anymore i do not recognize
or know myself

[chorus]
how can it be that i’ve grown so fast?
i only see a silhouette of my past
and the architecture of any shadows i cast…
sister cities

[verse
sisters in time
in nineteen*fifty*nine;
all this time we’ve
shared a story
is it raining in your streets?
do they shine like swords?
i wonder if you’re sitting, drinking
reading these words
[verse]
once i could see
the mist in the hills
rising so soft, delicate and free
now i am afraid
only here i won’t confess
the parts of me that breathe
i no longer possess

[chorus]
how can it be that i’ve gone so far?
i only hear an echoing in my heart
somehow i know that this is only just the start…
sister cities

[bridge]
sister city, i know
that this is
coming out of nowhere
there was no one else
that i could think
would understand
oh
i am
reaching
out to you in
desperation
can you
help me like only a
only a
only a sister can?
[outro]
four thousand, four
hundred and forty
miles across an ocean
dark and deep…
