I Am ... I Said

Lyrics

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time  
And the feeling is "lay back"  
Palm trees grow and rents are low  
But you know I keep thinkin' about  
Making my way back  
Well I'm New York City born and raised  
But nowadays  
I'm lost between two shores  
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home  
New York's home  
But it ain't mine no more  
  
"I am"...I said  
To no one there  
And no one heard at all  
Not even the chair  
"I am"...I cried "I am"...said I  
And I am lost and I can't  
Even say why  
Leavin' me lonely still  
  
Did you ever read about a frog  
Who dreamed of bein' a king  
And then became one  
Well except for the names  
And a few other changes  
If you talk about me  
The story's the same one  
But I got an emptiness deep inside  
And I've tried  
But it won't let me go  
And I'm not a man who likes to swear  
But I never cared  
For the sound of being alone  
  
"I am"...I said  
To no one there  
And no one heard at all  
Not even the chair  
"I am"...I cried  
"I am"...said I  
And I am lost and I can't  
Even say why  
"I am"...I said  
"I am"...I cried  
"I am"...I said
