A letra:
L.A.'s
fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is "lay
back"
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I
keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City
born and raised
But 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 and I can't
Even
say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about
a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well
except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about
me
The story is the same one
But I got an emptiness
deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm
not a man who likes to swear
But 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 and I can't
Even say why
"I am"...
I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"
