"City Days" lyrics

Flew in that first day
Summer of '08
Ferried cross the way to beat the rush
Waved at Liberty
Docked in Battery
David welcomed me and sure enough

I knew I had to have you
You're everything I'm missing
I'm ready to be living my
New York City days
I'm dancing with my shadow
Fountain penny wishing
I'm ready to be living my
New York City days

13 years from then
Running late again
Coffee with a friend, just killing time
Subway packed sardines
Bikers swim upstream
Shouting in the street
Everything is fine

I'm happy that I have you
There's nothing that I'm missing
I'm lucky to be living my
New York City days
Boxing with my shadow
Fountain penny wishing
I'm lucky to be living my
New York City days

And the time goes by
How the time flies by
How the time flies by

I never thought I'd leave you
But there's something that I'm missing
I gotta stop living my
New York City days
I didn't see my shadow
And the fountain's got a scaffold
I gotta stop living my
New York City Days
