[00:10.92]Well all these people of the city will keep you in their blind spots
[00:13.97]Especially when they know that you're out looking to sign dots
[00:16.92]I tried to tell this girl how twisted my mind got
[00:19.93]But it's her dream to ride the conveyer belt of that side walk
[00:22.94]She's got the intentions of being number one
[00:25.93]But can she handle rejection in the city of no sun
[00:28.99]Where bricks change colors faster than careers do
[00:31.99]And few people drive away and like what's in their rearview
[00:35.09]New York City's so far away
[00:37.96]But I can't wait even for one more day
[00:41.06]They say these things come and these things go
[00:44.03]But if I don't try I'll never know
[00:47.04]She don't care what it takes
[00:48.94]She knows she's got the ability
[00:50.02]And with what her folks make
[00:51.07]She knows she'd have stability
[00:53.08]She just needs to get out there
[00:54.00]And step toward the validity
[00:56.04]She can't keep dying over this
[00:57.90]Because it's just killing me
[00:59.07]She's not used to foot steps digging in her chest
[01:02.06]High heeled investments and suit's getting undressed
[01:05.07]Growing old and having new recruits become the best
[01:08.08]And finding that she's stepped on everyone and no one's left
[01:11.03]New York City's so far away
[01:14.00]But I can't wait even for one more day
[01:17.03]They say these things come and these things go
[01:20.00]But if I don't try I'll never know
[01:23.12]And New York City's so far away
[01:26.13]But I can't wait even for one more day
[01:29.14]They say these things come and these things go
[01:32.14]But if I don't try I'll never know
[01:46.11]Well it hurts like walking barefoot on light bulbs
[01:50.16]Smashing ideas with open skin
[01:51.18]'Till the pearl white drops of blood turn red
[01:55.16]And everyone can tell
[01:56.19]That you've worked hard enough
[01:58.17]It's time to go
[01:59.15]Go get your map and compass and don't listen to them
[02:02.18]And don't think about how much time you're fixing to spend
[02:04.14]The dirt only ends when the pavement begins
[02:07.12]This is your heart, your dream
[02:09.13]And you're your only friend
[02:11.18]So go
[02:23.17]You can kick the earth as hard as you want
[02:26.14]To show your frustration
[02:28.16]Or you can get in your car and kick your foot to the gas
[02:31.15]And keep accelerating 'till you hit your destination
[02:35.14]So go
[02:36.10]New York City's so far away
[02:38.16]But I can't wait even for one more day
[02:40.11]They say these things come and these things go
[02:44.17]But if I don't try I'll never know
[02:47.23]And New York City's so far away
[02:50.18]But I can't wait even for one more day
[02:52.21]They say New York City's so far away
[02:55.24]But I can't wait even for one more day
