The New Amsterdams - Hughes lyrics

Love is a long shot Love is a bird in hand When this stops we'll be laughing Sing our songs though they're barely heard You be the prom queen And I'll be the malcontent In this scene just pretend Nobody cares about social standing Hughes, Hughes, you knew me You promise me maybe That nobody talks to me I'm all alone People are misplaced People are full of sh** In this place, I'm over it And I've got a right mind to call it in 'Cause even the sun stays Even the words turn good In the heat wave, it's understood Nobody gives a damn for their neighbor Hughes, Hughes, you know me You will promise maybe later Nobody talks to me I'm all alone You've got a bad year You've got a place to stay And it's clear, you're on your way I won't tell your friends a thing
