People I Live With Lyrics
Kickin around downtown.
I see the people in the passing window.
And their hungry, tired faces betray they wish they had somewhere better to go.
Well, you know I'm no different.
With my hands deep in my pockets thinking it don't really matter where they end up tonight.
Because it's kind of hard to be insane in the city
Even though that every single city I've lived in
It's pavement walks formed the circles I walked in. It just feels the same. And it feels like nothings changed.
I'm comin down to town.
Goin from house to house.
You know we just can't seem to get it right and I just don't wanna see you tonight.
Because it's all the same buildings.
And it's all the same dirty streets.
Our little version of America.
It don't really mean shit to me.
Sometimes I feel more than a city can hold.
Sometimes I feel more than a city can hold!
Because it's kinda hard to be insane in the city.
Even though that every single city I've lived in it's pavement walks formed the circles that I walk in.
It just feels the same.
Can't live with the people I live with.
Can't work with the people that I work with.
Some people say I've just got an attitude.
Some people say I'm just hard to deal with.
I'm just tryin to survive!
I've done some things that I'm not so proud of.
No, you never want to hurt the people you love.
Sometimes you just gotta look them in the eye and apologize.
I see the people in the passing window.
And their hungry, tired faces betray they wish they had somewhere better to go.
Well, you know I'm no different.
With my hands deep in my pockets thinking it don't really matter where they end up tonight.

Sometimes I feel more than a city can hold!
