I absolutely love this song. The area that Vienna lived in wasn't that great and the window was stuck open, so she always heard the yelling, sirens, etc. With this song she's romanticizing her situation.
Because I'm from a big city, I feel like I can relate. I like how the chorus gets progressively more "optimistic" in a sense, like the longer she sings about Mission Street, the better she feels about it/the more she understands it.
I think another aspect of the song is how incredibly alone you can feel in a such busy city.
My favorite line is: "Mission Street is alive at every hour, like I've never been and feared I may not ever be."
