City's Face - Future Islands

All those years

Just a shadow

Of a ghost

Of a memory -- at most

And how you strayed -- an arrow

Where you go

Where you been?

Where you came

———

This city I'm sick and tired

And wild

The city that I came to love

I'm leaving

Filled with paranoia inside

Trust left with the loss of my pride

I say, "so long."

———

It's so strange, how a person can change a city's face

A time and place

Who we know

And believe

I believed, for too long

What you did to me, wasn't wrong

I grew to hate you

And this place too

———

This city I'm sick and tired

Am I -- the one that I forgot to love?

I'm losing

Filled with paranoia inside

Trust left with the loss of my pride

I say, "so long."

———

It's so strange, how a person can change a city's face

A person can change

A person can change a city's face

And the strangers I came to know

They're all strange now

All the strangers I came to know

They're all strange now

Strange now

Strange now

It's strange
