Baby.
What are you doing today?
What are you doing later?
I don't know my way through a maze of gray skyscrapers.
But I'm willing to learn.
If you want me to I'll stay just where I am.
But I promise just to follow where I land.
And you can take my word for that.
You are my Manhattan from the sky.
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high.
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside.
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.
Daisies. Once upon and old daydream that's what you gave me.
Out on the corner of Broadway and 48th Street.
On a rainy afternoon.
I could start discovering your world.
And I would make a damn good city girl.
Things would start to bloom.
I'm sure. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kate_voegele/manhattan_from_the_sky.html ]
You are my Manhattan from the sky.
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high.
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside.
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.
I know you want me to see, don't lie to me.
Why ya gotta go be so shy to me?
Cuz I aint buying the false anxiety.
Let your fortress fall.
What is it gonna take to get you there?
If it was money you'd be a millionare.
All alone in your leather swivel chair.
Counting stacks of gold.
You are my Manhattan from the sky.
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high.
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside.
And I wanna come down and walk around...
You are my Manhattan from the sky.
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high.
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside.
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.
I think this song is about going off to college and like he's going somewhere in manhattan, which is far away, and she wants to go with him and she's telling him that she would do fine in the city, but she's also trying to figure him out at the same time!! I love it!
