I could write a thousand songs
I could write a thousand songs
I could look at you and make something up
And then it would be true

I don’t know which pen to use
I don’t know which pen to use
I don’t which hue will represent
The wrinkles on your face

CHORUS:
This city wraps us in the cold
The greatest road is the one that’s covered in snow
We’ll take this bus to where its bound
We don’t know what we’ve found, we don’t know where to go

I can see a thousand songs
I can see a thousand songs
I can hear the beat of a thousand hearts
Pumping blood in time

But I can’t see the neon sign
I can’t see the neon sign
But I can see the salt that’s packed
Into the pavement on the road

CHORUS:

I can hear a thousand songs
I can hear a thousand songs
I can see the way the wind blows
a plastic bag across the street

But I can’t hear the sound of feet
I can’t hear the sound of feet
I can’t hear the way the woodchips
Crunch on a summer day

CHORUS:
This city wraps us in the cold
The greatest road is the one that’s covered in snow
We’ll take this bus to where its bound
We’ll sing and a song and listen to a sound
We’ll pay a dollar 25
To look at things and feel like we’re alive
And when we get off at our stop
We won’t where to go, we won’t know where to walk
