your stunning view is disappearing behind 4 million dollar walls
Not that you had the chance to see it with your second job
And you realize that no one cares how hard you have to work
Or that you’re secretly a genius on your second book
Oh it’s been a long time coming
You are only pages away
From being called the new Norman Mailer
From having your own parade
It’s not a lot of effort to put
into staying here
Move across the world see if I care
a crane is glowing in the night sky wrapped up in holiday lights
construction ringing rhythmless in a somewhat silent night
And you realize that no one here is waiting on you for a call
And if you jumped into the river no one cares at all
it’s been a long time coming
You are only pages away
From showing up at your old high school
Carrying your MBA
It’s not a lot of effort to put
into staying here
Move across the world see if I care
