Manhattan from the Sky by Kate Voegele Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2009

[Verse 1]
Baby
Whatchu doing today? What are you doing later?
I don't know my way through a maze of grey skyscrapers, oh
But I'm willing to learn

[Pre-Chorus 1]
If you want me to I'll stay just where I am
But I promise just to follow when I land
And you can take my word for this

[Chorus]
'Cause you are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind

[Verse 2]
Daisies
Once upon on old day dream, that's what you gave me
Out on the corner of Broadway and 48th Street
On a rainy afternoon
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, I could start discovering your world
And I would make a damn good city girl
Things would start to bloom, I'm sure

[Chorus]
'Cause you are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind

[Bridge]
I know you want me to see, don't lie to me
So, why you gotta go be so shy to me?
I ain't buying the false anxiety, let your fortress fall
What is it gonna take to get you there?
If it was money, you'd be a millionaire
All alone in a leather swivel chair, counting stacks of gold, oh

[Chorus]
You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around, oh
You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind
