lyrics

You won't be happy here
Even though I know you love me
Even though you know, In my mind
They hung the stars for you

I'm not saying you should stay where
You feel a part of you has faded
Where our heartstrings come unbraided
Or you're afraid to be sincere

Wander far beyond the window where you're waiting
Straight through the barriers of sound and speed and fear
Wake me gently with a morning medititation
Cuz if you ain't happy in Hoboken, you won't be happy here

I've tried the same before
Ran away to a new region
Started again another season
And found next to nothing there

I guess I should say I'm sorry
For not offering an answer
But the best part of love and dancing
Is the strolling up the stairs

Wander far beyond the window where you're waiting
Straight through the barriers of sound and speed and fear
Wake me gently with a morning medititation
Cuz if you ain't happy in Hoboken, you won't be happy here

If you ain't happy in Hoboken, you won't be happy here

If you ain't happy in Hoboken, you won't be happy here
