L A's fine, the sun shines most the times
And the feeling is "lay back"
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
LA's fine but it ain't home
New york's home
But it ain't mine no more
"I am"......I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am "....I cried "I am...said
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story's the same one
But I've got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone
"I am"...I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"...I cried
"I am"...said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
"I am"...I said
"I am"..I cried
"I am"...I said
