about

Stuck In The City is a song about just that–being young and staying alive in the city. Trying to figure things out, to keep your head above water, all the while being teased by the glimmer of something special.

lyrics

Lay down, on the bitumen
Feel that weight of relief when you see your friends
We're all trying to stay alive too
Drowning in the city, drowning in the city
Everyday that I don't free my mind
I lose all of my motivation
Drowning in the city

Stuck in the city
Dreaming of the beach
Lay down on the bitumen and slip between the cracks
Stuck in the city

Oh mama, it's a slippery slope
And I'm getting closer to the glorious edge
And all I want is to feel it

Coasting along, shooting the breeze
I'm getting high from the fumes, in the street
And all I want is to escape it
But all I do is inhale it

Stuck in the city
Dreaming of the beach
Lay down on the bitumen and slip between the cracks
Stuck in the city
