about

These City Streets by Paper Plains from debut album Anaestalgia

lyrics

It’s been so long since I last spoke your name and it feels so wrong being back here again. I’ve always hoped you were doing better than I but I see you now: a face I don’t recognise.

What ever happened to these city streets? My darling, you haven’t aged well. The foundation of my early memories, I’ll never come back to this hell. I feel we’ve lost it forever, but don’t say it’s a sign of the times. Though I’d hate to say it’s the end, I guess she just gave up the fight.

Now the path won’t speak your name like it once did and the grass won’t feel the same as when you were a kid. You can no longer write on the asphalt with the rocks on the side of the road, but you can paint on the walls; they have no character anymore.

No familiar faces, none of the same places. Stay off the road. It’s a dangerous place for a kid, don’t you know?
