Ordinary Days - Hundred-Story City Lyrics |
A musical by Adam Gwon Ordinary Days - Hundred-Story City Lyrics
JASON: What am I doing here In the middle of freaking New York City Blurting out proposals And holding cabernets?
And what am I doing here with Claire Trying to push our lives where she clearly doesn\'t want Since she is gone? And if we\'re moving nowhere Should I move on?
I moved to the city And I thought I couldn\'t take it And certainly I never thought I\'d stay But 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 Somehow she would always make me Feel a part of some great tapestry the world had spun I could always look at her and not feel so alone But 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 Was that she and I were working hard to build a future here
And maybe I was careless Maybe I should wear less of my heart upon my sleeves And let her say goodbye But I don\'t wanna 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\'ve got to hold 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 that\'s 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 to do
CLAIRE: Why are
DEB and CLAIRE: there so many people in my way?
WARREN: People- hey, hello!
JASON: I don\'t wanna be the person who is
DEB and 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: Except for her
CLAIRE: No crowds
DEB: No multipliers
WARREN: A flyer?
CLAIRE: Some space
DEB: Some room to get through
JASON: I just want to see her
DEB, CLAIRE and WARREN: No walls no bikes no buildings In my way
WARREN: 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 break-up clause Which is wanting to put life on pause So, Jesus, Claire What now?
