People As Cities

San Francisco, I loved you
And you burned me to the ground
You fled to another country
and you followed me around

San Francisco, you had my heart
The first one, the first time, then you fell apart
After we moved to a new city
And pieced together the place
You ran away
You really, really ran away

San Francisco came back one day
While the world was shutting down
There was so much I wanted to say
What if I’d made a sound?
It was nice to have that city around

Phoenix drove me to Tucson
Phoenix brought me out
Phoenix ran through my whole head
Phoenix took me out
Phoenix, do you remember that night there were three of us?
Phoenix found me
Phoenix, I fell in love
Phoenix brought me out
Phoenix showed me my whole self
Phoenix confused the fuck out of me
Phoenix was fireworks, wax, all night, love
Phoenix was healing
Phoenix was untapped passion
Some days I wonder where Phoenix is these days

Denver was a dream
Denver disappeared
Denver fucked me up and broke me down
Denver disappeared

I never liked leaving Vegas
Cincinnati, mysteriously around
Somewhere out there’s a new city
I’ve always loved Seattle’s sound
