Story Behind The Song
I lived in New York for 4 years, working at Muppet Recording Studio. Getting to work everyday felt like a fight with the millions of other New Yorkers, all wanting to prove that this city isn't going to take them down.
Song Description
Me vs. New York City - the crowds, the push, the rush, and the speed - it's a big town. But I'm bigger. A fun rocker with a pop jumpiness to it.

Lyrics
Everyone gather round
It?s high time we had a chat
Every time I check my watch
It?s time we took this big city back
From this feeling we keep needing
To keep going faster until
We all say stop the ride
I feel sick inside
And I think I?m bleeding
I feel the rush in my body
Feel you push and pull me
I feel the crush
You?re a big town
But I?m bigger than you
Don?t read inbetween the lines
I don?t mean what I?m saying
Just trying to read my mind
And then redefine what it is I?m praying for
We race at such a pace
Well if we brake our dates this late will we hate ourselves
Or will we find forgiveness
In the fact we finally found ourselves
I feel the rush in my body
Feel you push and pull me
I feel the crush
You?re a big town
But I?m bigger than you
You?re so small
And I?m so tall
These days it doesn?t pay to say
Anything that we?re thinking
No one is wondering what
And if anyone is then they?re not listening to
Our thoughts are bought our words are served like swordfish
Wishing for the sea
We need be ourselves, try to figure out
What the hell that means
I feel the rush in my body
Yeah
I feel the crush
You?re a big town
I feel the rush in my body
Feel you push and pull me
I feel the crush
You?re a big town
But I?m bigger than
I am bigger than
I am bigger than you
