lyrics

Arrived here with 40 bucks in my hand to this city, glistening
Ruc-sac, guitar and the clothes on my back in awe of its enticing
Sugar coated skyline and I just feel comfortable like I’ve been here before
Can’t put my finger on it, what it is about here
But really it’s the people you meet, the hands you shake, the hugs you give and take
That define a place, and give it a place in your heart
We gather on the rivers bank, people gather like they always have
Drinks, tunes and conversations flow, and we play these notes that portray hope
In a way words never could

It’s just so good to be back here again, so good to be back here again

Swept away by the swift kiss of this city, so pretty, it’s strange how
A place grows on you somehow, and you’re not sure why
You walk around and it just feels right, and these feelings I’ve learned not to fight
Cause the present is all we truly have
These wooded porches tell a story, it’s a prophecy that doesn’t take itself too seriously
Ill-defined time with no reason or rhyme is defied by the conscious mind
When we reside, in each other’s company under the sky
