Hundred Story City

Lyrics

What am I doing here?
 In the middle of freaking New York City
 Blurting out proposals
 And holding Cabernet
 And what am I doing here with Claire?
 Trying to push our lives somewhere she
 Clearly doesn't want since she is gone
 And if we're moving nowhere
 Should I move on?
 I move to the city and I thought I couldn't take it
 And certaintly I never thought I'd stay and then she came along
 And was the one thing in the city that made
 Me feel like I belonged here every single day
 No matter where she'd take me she would always
 Make mea part of some great tapestry the world had spun
 I can always look at her and not feel so alone
 And suddenly that's done
 Isn't it?
 Cause now I can't make heads or tails of what we have been doing.
 I thought stepping up and moving in would make things clear
 The one thing in this city that I always thought was certain
 She and I were working hard to build a future here
 And maybe I was careless,
 Maybe I should try to wear less of my
 Heart upon my sleeve and let her say goodbye.
 But I don't want to start that now, I don't want to let go
 Cause she's the only reason why
 I'm living in this hundred story city
 Where you gotta hold on tight to what you care for
 She's why I'm one out of a hundred million people
 Sticking out the angry cars, the crowded streets, the lack of stars
 Putting up with so much it's all a blur
 And that's what I've been doing just to be with her
 So I don't understand what I'm supposed do now
 Deb & Claire: Why are there so many people in my way?
 Warren: Hey! Hello!
 Jason: I don't want to be a person
 Deb & Claire: I don't understand these people
 Warren: Why am I
 All: always standing still I wish
 That I could make the people disappear
 Jason: Accept for her
 Claire: No crowds
 Deb: No moms
 Warren: a flier?
 Claire: Some space
 Claire & Deb & Warren: More room to get through.
 Jason: I just want to see her
 Clarie & Deb & Warren: No walls, no bikes, no buildings in my way
 Jason: What am I doing in this hundred story city
 Where you're always moving fast but going nowhere
 Oh I don't care if there's a hundred million people
 I just want to be with one
 I always told you Claire that there
 Was nothing we wouldn't make it through
 But you've unearthed a breakup clause
 Which is wanting to put life on pause
 So Jesus Claire
 What now?
