The Wonder Years Sister Cities Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The moon is hanging low, over the central station
I watch the buses leave in silence, bound for foreign distant places
The Andes hold me close
A mothers only son
I feel weightless in the valley, like I'm everywhere at once

[Chorus]
I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We're sister cities

I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We're sister cities

[Verse 2]
We came here abandoned
An old brick faced apartment
Rusted swing set in the courtyard, like the one that I was born in
I'm guarded like I'm wounded, my first instinct's always 'run”
I wanna turn to steam
I wanna call it off
I wanna lighten the dark
I wanna swallow the sun

[Chorus]
I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We're sister cities

I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home

[Bridge]
I was just mange and skin and bone
You took me into your home
Kept warm on a blanket from your worn out winter coat

[Chorus]
I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We're sister cities

I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We're sister cities

I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We're sister cities

We're sister cities
