Lyrics The New Amsterdams

The New Amsterdams

Hughes

Love is a long shot

Love is a bird in hand

When this stops

We’ll be laughing

Sing our songs

Though they’re barely heard

You be the prom queen

I’ll be the malcontent

In this scene

Just pretend

Nobody cares about

Social standing

Hughes

Hughes you knew me

You promise me maybe that

Nobody talks to me

I’m all alone

People are misplaced

People are full of shit

In this place

I’m over it

I’ve got a right mind

To call it in

Cause even the sun stays

Even the words turn good

In the heat wave

It’s understood

Nobody gives a damn for their neighbor

Hughes

Hughes you know me

You

Will promise maybe later

Nobody talks to me

I’m all alone

You’ve had a bad year, you’ve got a place to stay

And it’s clear, you’re on your way

I won’t tell your friends a thing
