[Chorus]
Sit down, remind me how
This is the same old story of growing up and getting lost
Sit down, remind me how
This is the same old story of growing up and getting lost

[Verse 1]
And just outside I can hear the sound
Of the early morning street becoming way too loud
Yeah, and the hum of the engines in the cars
On the street, yeah, on the streets

[Pre-Chorus]
And with this cigarette that I just lit
As I passed the 53rd Street Bridge
Right now, the world just seems too big
The world just seems too big

[Chorus]
Sit down, remind me how
This is the same old story of growing up and getting lost
Sit down, remind me how
This is the same old story of growing up and getting lost

[Verse 2]
And just outside, I can see my breath
In between the words that fog my spinning head
And I can see the sun coming up
And it's just light enough to see
