If you lived in my town
We’d sit on my stoop
Drink coffee all day
Until we turned blue
If you lived in my town

If you lived in my town
I’d bring you inside
Drink wine on the rooftop
Toast those summer nights
If you lived in my town

CHORUS:
I’d show you the asphalt
I’d show you the smoke
I’d show you the strangers
Who give me such hope
I’d show you the canvas
Of the fast changing light
I’d hold you cause cities
Make you feel shy

If you lived in my town
You could call anytime
Speak in fake accents
Pull wool over my eyes
If you lived in my town

If you lived in my town
We’d sneak underground
Walk down the east river
Get off at Canal
If Youl lived in my town

If you lived in my town
We’d sure lose our way
No need to determine
Should you go or stay
If you lived in my town
