[Verse1]
Counselors will say
Something so predicable
They make me move away
To cities so unlivable
Do I have a choice?
Or should I just dive in?
Muted is my voice
I never learned how to swim
[Chorus]
This city's pressuring me
and i just cant take it, just cant take it
I gotta stop
Look around
And just be myself
In this crazy town
This city's pressuring me
And I just won't make it, just won't make it alone
These streets are getting cold
It so unbearable
[Verse2]
Far away from home
The city scrapes the skylight
No wonder its so cold
And its even colder at the night
I wish I had a friend
Who didn't drink his life away
They're foolish in the end
Never accomplished anything
[Bridge1]
(Take me away)
To a better place
This city's overrated
(Take me away)
So I can breathe again
This town is complicated
(Take me away)
To a better place
This city's overrated
(Take me away)
So I can breathe again
So I can breathe the air again
[Ending]
This city's pressuring me again
And I can't win
(I gotta stop, look around
And just be myself in this crazy town)
