City by the Sea Lyrics
I'm a thousand miles from home
sleeping in my clothes
living like ive never have before
when the city falls into the sea
I try and make myself believe
that I'm after it but im only losing sleep
if only I could feel less indifferent
then maybe i could be more existent
I'm dreaming hopelessly
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
on the rooftop late at night
writing songs about my life
praying day will break before i close my eyes
I wish I had a little more to miss
than friends that don't exist
and the town that felt like scars across my wrist
if only I could feel less indifferent
then maybe I could be more existent
I'm dreaming hopelessly
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
if only I could feel (less indifferent)
if only I could feel (less indifferent)
I'm dreaming hopelessly
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
I don't belong
I don't belong
sleeping in my clothes
living like ive never have before
when the city falls into the sea
I try and make myself believe
that I'm after it but im only losing sleep
then maybe i could be more existent
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
writing songs about my life
praying day will break before i close my eyes
I wish I had a little more to miss
than friends that don't exist
and the town that felt like scars across my wrist
then maybe I could be more existent
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
if only I could feel (less indifferent)
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
I don't belong
I don't belong

"I wish I had a little more to miss than friends that don't exist"
this is so real to me, hehe.
this song is so wonderful and i have a feeling this is going to be my new favorite band.
This song horribly represents the way that I feel.

It's very unfortunate to find that the city in which you used to live provides the people/friends that figure out they're really just better off without you. At least that's how I interpret it, anyway.
actually, travis is saying: "i'm a thousand miles from home, sleeping in my clothes, living like i never have before. where the city falls into the sea, i try and make myself believe that i matter here, but i'm only losing sleep."
