Lyrics
Two bags and a box on the bus downtown Don't know a single street, I'm figuring it out Key in my pocket to a room that's small Window with a skyline, that's the best view of all Bought a coffee, asked the barista for her name She said welcome to the city, nothing here's the same Got a map in my head that I'm drawing as I go New town, new me, watch the whole thing grow Say hello to the street lights Say hello to the new nights New city, same me, louder New city, same me, prouder Fresh start on the corner, hear it ring New city, same me, let me sing Hey, new city, same me, louder First week lonely, eating noodles on the floor Learned the train line, learned the corner store Neighbor said good morning, I said good morning back Little things add up and I'm getting on track Called my mom and told her that I'm doing fine Holding on to home, leaving doubt behind Every stranger's just a friend I haven't met Starting over's scary, but I'm not done yet Say hello to the street lights Say hello to the new nights New city, same me, louder New city, same me, prouder Fresh start on the corner, hear it ring New city, same me, let me sing Hey, new city, same me, louder Fold the old map, hang it on the wall Never forget where I came from, y'all But the road ahead is wide and it's mine Step by step, I'm doing just fine New city, same me, louder New city, same me, prouder Fresh start on the corner, hear it ring New city, same me, let me sing Hey, new city, same me, louder Louder, louder New city, same me
