Jeremy Zucker - Born For The City Lyrics

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put this song on Spotify... it has always been one of my favorites. It has such deep feelings and you can feel how soulful it is. 🥰🤩

[Chorus]
I could see it all in your eyes tonight
The city lights, they're flashing by
With your legs around my waist, yeah
And you ask if we can stay here, stay here
This is heaven if you'd never leave
With that t-shirt down not your knees
Brush the hair across your face, yeah
Girl you know we couldn't stay here

[Hook]
She from Mississippi but she born for the city, yeah
Just know when I make it that it's her coming with me, yeah
What's money if we ain't got the time that we're spending
Had to flip for a while, still talk gunna mend it

[Verse 1]
Feeling old for minute, haven't been home in a minute
It's cold where I'm living, where my heart froze, I'm a villain
That's why I'm acting tough, life passes by, I won't pass you up
Been through it all but never had enough
So I faced it all and never passed the blunt
Ok, girl, you know me, all the time that we spent last fall
Lately I'm lonely, late nights when I wish you'd call
Had a lot to say, thought through it all these past couple days
I'll call it off if you come with me
When I make it out let me know what you say

[Chorus]
I could see it all in your eyes tonight
The city lights, they're flashing by
With your legs around my waist, yeah
And you ask if we can stay here, stay here
This is heaven if you'd never leave
With that t-shirt down not your knees
Brush the hair across your face, yeah
Girl you know we couldn't stay here

[Hook]
She from Mississippi but she born for the city, yeah
Just know when I make it that it's her coming with me, yeah
What's money if we ain't got the time that we're spending
Had to flip for a while, still talk gunna mend it

[Verse 2]
After the summer passed
The rain had followed me, yeah
And then I flew out west
Since then I been different inside
Shit don't feel the same
Faces all around telling me that's just life
Hide it with these games
Always looking back when it was simple, girl
But you know about that, love
Problems only gunna add up

[Chorus]
I could see it all in your eyes tonight
The city lights, they're flashing by
With your legs around my waist, yeah
And you ask if we can stay here, stay here
This is heaven if you'd never leave
With that t-shirt down not your knees
Brush the hair across your face, yeah
Girl you know we couldn't stay here

im assuming you got the lyrics off of genius, but theyre incorrect. here's the corrected version

[Chorus]
I could see it all in your eyes tonight
The city lights, they're flashing by
With your legs around my waist, yeah
And you ask if we can stay here, stay here
This is heaven if you'd never leave
With that t-shirt down to your knees
Brush the hair across your face, yeah
Girl you know we couldn't stay here

[Hook]
She from Mississippi but she born for the city, yeah
Just know when I make it that it's her coming with me, yeah
What's money if we ain't got the time that we're spending
Shit broke for awhile, still time couldn't mend it

[Verse 1]
Feeling old for a minute, haven't been home in a minute
It's cold where I'm living, where my heart froze, I'm a villain
That's why I'm acting tough, life passes by, I won't pass you up
Been through it all but never had enough
So I faced it all and never passed a blunt
Ok, girl, you know me, all the time that we spent last fall
Lately I'm lonely, late nights when I wish you'd call
Had a lot to say, thought through it all these past couple days
I'll call it off if you come with me
When I make it out let me know what you say

[Chorus]
I could see it all in your eyes tonight
The city lights, they're flashing by
With your legs around my waist, yeah
And you ask if we can stay here, stay here
This is heaven if you'd never leave
With that t-shirt down to your knees
Brush the hair across your face, yeah
Girl you know we couldn't stay here

[Hook]
She from Mississippi but she born for the city, yeah
Just know when I make it that it's her coming with me, yeah
What's money if we ain't got the time that we're spending
Shit broke for awhile, still time couldn't mend it

[Verse 2]
After the summer passed
The rain it followed me, yeah
And then I flew out west
Since then I been different inside
Shit don't feel the same
Faces all around telling me that's just life
Had it with these games
Always looking back when it was simple, girl
What you know about that, love
Problems only gunna add up

[Chorus]
I could see it all in your eyes tonight
The city lights, they're flashing by
With your legs around my waist, yeah
And you ask if we can stay here, stay here
This is heaven if you'd never leave
With that t-shirt down to your knees
Brush the hair across your face, yeah
Girl you know we couldn't stay here

key differences are "shit broke for awhile still time couldn't mend it" replaces "had to flip for a while still talk gunna mend it" and "always lookin back when it was simple girl what you know about that love" replaces "always lookin back when it was simple girl but you know about that love"

the second lyric i changed references the previous song on the ep west "simple" where the hook is "let's make this simple girl, what ya know about that love."

nice
