My City

[Verse 1: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

Looking out on the river bend

Looking out on the thing that isn't

Looking out on the freeway's push and pull

Looking out for the current

Little spells of forgetfulness

Little sounds that are shrill and urgent

Little insects that sting as they come and go

Little moments of purpose

[Chorus 1: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

I loved you

I wore you out

I missed you

Where are you now?

[Verse 2: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

This town is a monolith

This town is a crowded movie

This town is a depot, I come and go

This town is my city

[Chorus 2: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

I hate you

I tore you down

I miss you

Where are you now?

[Bridge: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

Looking bad like those Vegas odds

Wear a smile like it's camouflage

[Verse 3: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

Today was a smoking sky

Today was a civic menace

Today I went walking while things explode

Some sad independence

[Chorus 3: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

I want to be just as loud

All this freedom just freaks me out

[Outro: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

Risk it all on the game of chance

Chasing love like an ambulance
