Skyscrapers

by Summer Woods

/

about

This is a song for anybody who feels uncomfortable in big cities and would rather stay in a small town.

lyrics

This city never felt like my own
Like a stray that hunts the meaning of home
Some days all I want’s a way to escape
Like money slippin’ down an old grate

Hey, I can’t tell you how many times
People tell me "Don’t get down and cry"
Under my feet, wet sidewalks reflect the light
Looked down and I was walking on the sky

I never wanted to say it
But skyscrapers are something I never got used to
I’m at the ankles of greatness, why…
Can’t I ever be that high?

I’m frozen in this taxi ride life
Silent as the city blurs by
I try to keep up with that tempo
But it only sings a song I don’t know

Hey, I can’t tell you how many times
People tell me "Don’t get down and cry"
Under my feet, wet sidewalks reflect the light
Looked down and I was walking on the sky

Yeah, yeah
Da da da da da da
Yeah, yeah
Ooo
Da da da da da da
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I never wanted to say it
But skyscrapers are something I never got used to
I’m at the ankles of greatness, why…
Can’t I ever be that high?

I never wanted to say it
But skyscrapers are something I never got used to
I’m at the ankles of greatness, why…
Can’t I ever be that high?

about

Summer Woods Chino Hills, California

Summer Woods puts a fresh spin on the traditions of classic singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell, but thanks to offbeat influences such as Beck and Ween, her music comes out sounding like something only Summer could create.
