lyrics

June 11th, 2007

I’m in Toronto! Things are as good as hoped for with Nicole. And I even like Toronto more than expected. It ’s not all grey crumbling buildings and smog like I’d been lead to believe. But maybe that ’s because I’m in love. I could really see myself living here. People are friendlier than on the west coast too. And I haven’t seen a single meth addict on the street since I got here.

--------------------

You walked me around the city
That was neither ugly nor pretty
And wasn’t really any more polished
And wasn’t really anymore gritty

It was the same old records being bought
And the same crack pipes being sold
And maybe it’s because the sun gets so hot
It makes the buildings look so old

And the people on the subway
Seem full of the same fears and cares
As people on subways everywhere
But that’s neither here nor there

Because I’m here now
(You’re here now)
I’m here now
(I don’t want you to go back there…)
