lyrics

You ask me what’s my name
I answer honestly
You look at me as if I just got off the bus yesterday

I know I’m welcome here
And yet I feel a chill
The city opens like a rural mile
On a cold but sunny day

I came into this town
The lights and nighttime air
The parks and palaces of endless style beckoned me

With just a cautious smile
And faith escaping words
Or kind description, just hoping to listen
And be heard

What have I found, you ask, and I say that
It is finding me
Play another club
Drive another beat into the heart of my insecurity

Is it the faster crowd
Or is it the average joes
Who make the moments out of certain songs fit their own

Maybe it’s both today
Just sing them anyway
In hopes that there might be within the pulsing crowd a single heart
Whose melody sounds a lot like yours did tonight

And what have I found, you ask, and I say love, that
It is finding me
Play another club
Drive another beat into the heart of my insecurity

And what have I found, you ask, and I say love, that
It is finding me
Play another club
Drive another beat into the heart of my insecurity
