I am… i said

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
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
