Is New York City really like a graveyard?
They all ask me and I say,
Well, it was last week, but man, that was in the past.
See, I stopped going to the places where the people act so nasty and pretentious,
Cause I'm happy sitting with my friends inside, walk-singing songs.
And some people are still standing in the way of where I'm going,
So I say, please excuse me, step aside or keep on moving.
And I guess they sense that my momentum meant that I was winning,
But I'm only just beginning,
And I'd rather go with friends than go alone.
And some people grab my hands, and some people grab my shirt,
Some people race ahead to see if they can get there first,
Some people stay behind cause they've got something else in mind.
Whatever you decide, if you are true to you, you're gonna be alright.
Like Akita, he's a father, now he is in love with Amber.
Their baby's name is Skyler, he's a baby of the summer.
I wonder as I wander if I'll ever settle down,
Or if every day I'll take my roots uprooted on rip to another town.
I was sitting on a couch somewhere watching VH1,
When I found out that Bruce Springsteen is his mother's only son.
I'm my mother's only daughter, we were both born to run.
But even he says it's amazing raising babies in the place where you come from.
But I am a rock tumbler, I've got rocks inside my head,
And just because they come out shining, doesn't mean that they are diamonds.
And I guess that my worst nightmare is your very favorite bar,
When I'm worth my weight in shell and slate, I'll know that I'm a super-duper star.
I'll be a great big ball of burning gas, And I'll be sitting on my big fat ass,
And sipping crystal light beside a plastic waiting pool.
And the next day I'll be somewhere else, Part of me will hate myself,
Part of me will know deep down that I am pretty cool.
[G] Part of me that knows I never care for being cool.
Part of me that knows I never care for being cool.
Part of me that knows I never care for being cool.
Part of me that knows I never care for being cool.
