	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song when I first moved to New York in 1998. It was taking some adjusting, those buildings will tower over you and make you foret you're even there. That's what the song is about, getting back in touch with myself, taking a minute to check in with me and make sure everything's cool. I think that's very important becuase it's easy to lose oneself in the shuffle and the day to day petty things, it's important to step back and remember who you really are. Lyrics I walk aimlessly through these city streets Down to the westside highway where the sky and city meet To check on one another even if for just a moment Look to the water as it flows it's got me zoning The sun is closing down yet the city's staying open I stay to watch the last rays disappear beneath the skyline Walk a little further down no where to be so I just bide time And unwind as I regress with a deep breath Look back upon the city and it's sleepless My thoughts are drifting like the cans discarded in the current Trying to take in all I see and let it ferment For a while and so once again I drift Time alone to zone it's like a gift Cuz sometimes it gets to feeling like maybe I'm becoming A stranger to myself and the thought is kind of numbing So I sit upon this bench and turn my head to face a cold wind Can't help the warm feeling inside I'm reconnecting with an old friend Night falls on Manhattan like a memory of days past But the city keeps it moving, and I ain't got to say that I trace the skyline with my eye's line, but my mind lies above that Shooting stars collide with nothingness, you gotta love that And now that nothingness is everything, still not enough to fill the spaces That my soul finds when my mind runs down lists of familiar faces Faces that I know I will never see again And nonetheless this emptiness is gripping, and my loneliness is deepening And creeping in is this foreboding sense That impermanence is the only permanent I'm not concerned with the fact I've lost loved ones to death My concern is losing the parts of them in me I got left
