I Am I Said

L.A.'s fine, there's sun shine most of the times

And the feeling is laid back

Palm trees grow

Rents are low

But you know I keep thinking about

Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised

Nowadays I'm lost between two shores

L.A.'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 I

And I am lost

But I can't

Even say why

Leaving me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king?

And he became one

Well, except for the few names, a few other changes

You could talk about me

The story's the same one

Well, I got this deep emptiness inside

Oh, I tried but it won't let me go

I'm not a man who likes to swear

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

But I can't

Even say why

Leaving me lonely still

Leaving me lonely still
