Academy Is..., The - New York (Saint In The City) Lyrics






She said "You can't stay a saint that long in the city."
you laugh at the thought on the the elevator down, you're just a phone call away.

You're placing a big blind bet on the underdog
and though its a stretch, you believe
when you're against the odds, and on your feet
with you at your best, and promises kept,
she'd rather stay here with you on the laziest afternoons with you.

Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.

You woke to the screech of the wheels on a runway
over an ocean of praise on a stage,
the songs of your love fall to your knees.
with you at your best, this is all you've got left,
she'd rather stay here with you on the laziest afternoons with you.

Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
When hearts hang on the line, and all that you fear has happened
Let the memories count the miles, and never be forgotten.

Was it something that she said, something that she did
to make you leave her here alone?
Was it something that you said, something that you did
to make her leave you here?
Don't leave me here alone.

Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
When hearts hang on the line, and all that you fear has happened
Let the memories count the miles, and never be forgotten.

    I think this is like one of my favourite songs, ever :o (:

  11. N.... V....

    This band is not only extremely talented but also great guys. They deserve all the success they are getting. At Fall Ball '09 i had told William that i liked one of the bracelets he was wearing and after the concert, as he was leaving the house of blues, he took his bracelet off and personally handed it to me. It was the best night ever!

  12. J.... ....

    I love the lyrics to this.Absolutely amazing :)

  13. g.... ....

    I think a lot of the reason this EP sounds so "poppy" and mainstream is because of the way it was mixed. I'm not sure if they used a different producer than they have for past albums, but parts of this song sound very Santi-ish, like they could fit in with all the other songs on Santi if they were put together differently.

  14. k.... ....

    This EP is deff TAI at their best. I lovedlovedloved it =].

    She'd rather stay here with you, on the laziest afternoons with you...

  15. N.... D....

    JESUS BILL, STOP WRITING LOVE SONGS.

  16. k.... ....

    I sympathized with you when Fast Times came out, but I actually think this EP sounds a lot like Santi, especially In The Rearview. I like it lots.

  17. D.... h....

    wow it doesnt this band very long to pull an album out thats why this is one of my favorite bands out there!

  18. c.... ....

    i agree that songs like about a girl get old quick. the only way id listen to it is if it came on and i didnt feel like changing the song. but i still love almost all of TAI's songs, soon it will be all.

  19. q.... s....

    i dont think the AP tour even came to seattle though :/
    ive tried to set up a few trips down there, but they never work out(one of them being all time low in november)

  20. q.... s....

    this and sputter have to be my favourites.
    i found TAI through songs like "about a girl" but they got old pretty fast...stuff like THIS is what makes me love theis band.

    looking forward to a new album, and OKGO's too...im freakin auto-tuned out after this summer and its good to hear vocals that dont reverberate

  21. q.... s....

    haha thats what i thought about too when i saw the EP... "WELL aint i lucky! william becketts lost in my neck of the woods!"
    im in vancouver too...but it seems like no one want to play here anymore! D:
    haah at least the bands that i like, passion pit came but it was no minors(same with lights)
    so i screamed up to the heavens when i saw that Marianas Trench was FINALLY coming home haha
    im taking my friend for her birthday :]

  22. c.... ....

    one of my favorites on the EP

  23. C.... ....

    i live in Pacific time... o.O always have, always will. vancouver island!

    is pacific time behind every single other time in the world? i think it is.

  24. a.... ....
