lansing

(04/06)

these sliding sounds make me want to write down
all the things i love about this town
like the way october leaves line my street
like a bed of rose pedals under my feet

and this city seems so small
cause i know faces everywhere i go
and i feel so full with my friends surrounding me
just cross the street you know where to find me

i watch my rearview down one way streets
just to get a perspective unfamiliar to me
i sit by the river in the heart of the city
just to feel its beat inside of me
that’s why i love this city
and all its simple beauty

as i slow to a stop
on the these streets i stroll like sidewalks
i feel safe in this steady home
it makes me think
its time to roam

i watch my rearview down one way streets
just to get a perspective unfamiliar to me
now when i spend each night inside a different city
i know exactly what home means
that’s why i must be leaving
its time to travel on with my sights ahead of me

these sliding sounds make me want to write down
all the things i love about this town
