Rosenstock, Jeff - You, In Weird Cities Lyrics






Philip's living up in Chicago
Matty's working hard in Ohio
Fitzy and Chris are very far away
Sean, Ian and Rick are in Michigan
And we try to see each other whenever we can
But there's only so many days that we can stay

I'm always getting high
When no one is around
'Cause nothing makes me feel
Anything's worthwhile
Nothing makes me happy
I'm like a bratty child
Nothing makes me laugh
Nothing makes me smile

Some of my friends are good Americans
How can they empathize with the trouble that I'm in?
I don't have to wake up, I don't have to feed a kid
And it's got to the point where I'm not sure if that's something I wanted

Instead of getting high
When no one is around
'Cause nothing makes me feel
Anything's worthwhile
Nothing makes me happy
I'm like a shitty child
Nothing makes me laugh
Nothing makes me smile

But when I listen to your records
I don't need to look at pictures
It's like I'm hanging out with you

In weird cities
Getting lost, and pretending
That we'll never go back
We'll never go back
You, laughing with me
Getting lost in weird cities
'Cause we'll never go back
We'll never go back

To always getting high
When no one is around
'Cause nothing makes me feel
Anything's worthwhile
Nothing makes me happy
I'm like a shitty child
Nothing makes me laugh
Nothing makes me smile

But when I listen to your records
I don't need to look at pictures
It's like I'm hanging out with you

  1. P.... ....

    the last third of this song makes my ears nut

  2. k.... h....

    jesus christ the last half of this song is just so good, never leaves your mind

  3. S.... ....

    I found this album 4 years too late but fuck me what a banger. An album made of solid Sunshine and emotion

  4. R.... S....

    I dont get it

  5. K.... ....

    The bro-iest song since Manthem by The Bouncing Souls. I fucking love it

  6. J.... T....

    Right when he says,"Some of my friends are good Americans", I literally drove past an American Flag lol.

  7. N.... B....

    When he starts singing “hanging out with you in weird cities” I cant help but sing along.

  8. M.... T....

    G R E E N D A Y V I B E S

  9. S.... G....

    Saw Jeff live a few days ago and listening to this song is giving me goosebumps.

  10. P.... D....

    I miss my friends too, Jeff.

  11. p.... ....

    Ever feel like a song was written for you?

    p.... ....

    Isn't that the point of songs?

    p.... ....

    i relate to this song way too much, i know what you mean

  12. s.... ....

    This song saved my life

  13. C.... S....

    2:11 onward is just so feels

  14. M.... G....

    man this song was insane when we saw jeff in chicago. the whole crowd was swaying back and forth and then when the guitar solo hit jeff held out his guitar and let the crowd take it and wail on it. He then proceeded to half-heartedly complain when it was super out of tune afterwards.

  15. J.... K....

    Yo Jeff, we cool.

  16. S.... ....

    Taco bell-y

  17. R.... ....

    Smith Street + Andrew Jackson + Jeff Rosenstock. If it can happen in America you can bring it to the UK ;)

    R.... ....

    ReturnDivided yeeeeesss:3

  18. E.... N....

    I like this song a lot because it's about friends. When you really think about it, there aren't a lot of songs about friendship.

    E.... N....

    Eric Nolle look up goon squad by ripe

    E.... N....

    ever heard of pop punk as a genre boyo

  19. E.... ....

    It's so earlier noughties, sunny shit

  20. r.... ....

    oh. my. god.

  21. A.... R....

    I'm pretty sure Jeff took some cues from Joyce Manor on this song. He did say that their last album was one of his favorites from 2014 and that loud breakdown sounds a lot like "Falling In Love With Again" to me

    A.... R....

    Joyce Manor is the reason I heard about Jeff... Love them both so much

    A.... R....

    Joyce Manor are cool

    A.... R....

    Joyce manor and Jeff rosenstock are the dream team

  22. A.... R....


    I am downright offended that this only has 1,500 views.  The last minute of this song is probably the best minute of music we'll hear all year.  Keep the tunes coming Jeff

    A.... R....

    it has like 72,000 now

    A.... R....

    @Jordan Schomber one year after that, 102000. I'm just new to Jeff Rosenstock so I'll keep adding on the other songs as I explore this wonderful new world.

  23. C.... A....

    Tour Australia with Smith Street!!!

    C.... A....

    +Craig Atkinson How do you even tour Australia?

    C.... A....

    +Richard Desjardin transport via emus and kangaroos mate

    C.... A....

    Isn't australia like 3 cities on opposite sides of the continent?

    C.... A....

    depends on some tours but they usually hit the 3 cities on the east coast which are nearby each other then there's adelaide a lil ways to the west and im in perth which is alllllll the way on the west coast and we get skipped pretty often :'(

  24. D.... T....

    im so hyped for this record 

  25. A.... M....

    March 3rd is going to be a good day

  26. H.... B....

    I wonder who he's singing about.

  27. H.... ....

    oh dang oh dang oh dang oh dang oh dang oh dang oh dang

  28. t.... ....
