Lyrics
LA's fine
sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow
and the rents are low
But you know
I keep thinking about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City
born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
LA's fine but it ain't home
New York's home
but it ain't mine no more
I am I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am I cried I am said I
And I am lost
and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read
about a frog who dreamed
of being a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names
and a few other changes
If you talk about me
the story's the same one
But I got an
emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man
who likes to swear
But I've never cared
for the sound of being alone
I am I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am I cried I am said I
And I am lost
and I can't even say why
I am I said
I am I cried I am
