Behind four million dollar walls
Not that you had the chance to see it
With your second job
And you realize that no one cares how hard you have to work
Or that you're secretly a genius on your second book
It's been a long time coming
You are only pages away
From being called the new Norman Mailer
From having your own parade
There's not a lot of effort to
Put in to staying here
Move across the world
See if I care
A crane is hanging in the night sky
Wrapped up in holiday lights
Construction ringing rhythmless in
A somewhat silent night
And you realize that no one here is waiting for your call
And if you jumped into the river
No one cares at all
It's been a long time coming
You are only pages away
From showing up at your old high school
Carrying your N.B.A
There's not a lot of effort to
Put in to staying here
Move across the world
See if I care
Your stunning view is disappearing Behind four million dollar walls Not that you had the chance to see it With your second job And you realize that no one cares how hard you have to work Or that you're secretly a genius on your second book It's been a long time coming You are only pages away From being called the new Norman Mailer From having your own parade There's not a lot of effort to Put in to staying here Move across the world See if I care A crane is hanging in the night sky Wrapped up in holiday lights Construction ringing rhythmless in A somewhat silent night And you realize that no one here is waiting for your call And if you jumped into the river No one cares at all It's been a long time coming You are only pages away From showing up at your old high school Carrying your N.B.A There's not a lot of effort to Put in to staying here Move across the world See if I care Explain Request ×
