There's a girl in New York City
Skylines no longer pretty
Bound to destination anywhere
She grew up in California
Big dreams, they tend to own you there
Now she's building cardboard castles in the air

With a voice subliminal, It's the only sign she's beautiful
Here's all that's left of her dignity
She goes yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah

Big dreams, they tend to own you there

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
