[Verse 1]
Took the train from Brooklyn
New York smiling like a monster in a cage
And I hide most of the time
Because the numbers won't add; it's making me afraid
And I don't wanna be scared no more
I don't wanna be scared no more
Down the west side highway
Everyone's talking like they have something to say
And I'm trying most of the time
I'm more and more and just feeling like a fake
[Chorus]
So hold me
Keep me coming back
Listen when I tell you that I'm not worried
Darkness; is it just an absence?
Walk you to the high line
A new day's coming
'Cause I don't wanna be scared no more
I don't wanna be scared no more
[Verse 2]
Time holds me down like a brother
Showing me all the things I couldn't bear to lose
I fight back most of the time
Just bargaining as if I get to choose
I don't wanna be scared no more
I don't wanna be scared no more
[Chorus]
So hold me
Keep me coming back
Listen when I tell you that I'm not worried
Darkness; is it just an absence?
Walk you to the high line
A new day's coming
So hold me
Keep me coming back
Listen when I tell you that I'm not worried
Darkness; is it just an absence?
Walk you to the high line
A new day's coming
'Cause I don't wanna be scared no more
I don't wanna be scared no more
I don't wanna be scared no more
I don't wanna be scared no more
