Choon.
Jim Bryson - Somewhere Else
you know when you hear a song for the first time and it just hits you? this happened to me with this song. i first heard it last Monday going to Newtown on the train to meet up with Jess for lunch.
i hadn’t heard this song before and i remember sitting there looking out the window listening to the lyrics and having that OH SHIT moment where you feel like the song is written about exactly how you’re feeling right now.
hearing it the day before i was leaving Sydney was perfect.
I used to look for you out in the daylight
I took highways and side streets and back lanes
Slept under open skies
And life can be cruel
But life can be sweet if I want it to be
The town that I once called home
I just can’t hold on to
It’s got strip malls and bus stops and people
I would never really talk to
And she says life could be sweet
But life is so cruel ‘cause I let it be
And everybody out here
They wanna live somewhere else
I wish I could find a place
And stay there by myself
And bit by bit I swear I think I’m losing
All this city’s confidence
And everybody out here
They wanna live somewhere else
And I wish I could find a place
And stay there by myself
And bit by bit
I swear I think I’m losing all this city’s confidence
I swear I’ve lost
All this city’s confidence
