This Big City

Derailers · Retrospective: Just One More Time [2006]

1, 2

1, 2 ready go



This big city seemed like a small town till you left me

Now I look for you everywhere but I can't find a trace

Without you the city's cold and unforgiving

Among millions I feel all alone, lost and out of place



I left with you against my own better judgment

I wasn't ready to leave my family home

But our little town couldn't hold your big ideas

And I knew I couldn't hold you on the phone



This big city seemed like a small town till you left me

Now I look for you everywhere but I can't find a trace

Without you the city's cold and unforgiving

Among millions I feel all alone, lost and out of place



Into mighty wild and fast company

I trusted your older eyes to see straight

But money and champagne, well, it changed your point of view

By the time I noticed, it was far too late



This big city seemed like a small town till you left me

Now I look for you everywhere but I can't find a trace

Without you the city's cold and unforgiving

Among millions I feel all alone, lost and out of place

Among millions I feel all alone, lost and out of place
