City To City
Bryce Pallister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of me five years ago
When I thought I had the world at my fingertips
No intentions of letting go
But it's not what you don't know
It's what you don't know you don't know
Throw some money around
Then blow off to Chicago
Let the wind blow me around
Take my shot in New York City
It's pretty this time of year
I just wish you were here
Found myself in places
That we talked about in our lives
I like to think if you were here with me
I'd have a better time
But it's not what you don't know
It's what you don't know you don't know
I think I'll try Las Vegas
Throw some money around
Then blow off to Chicago
Let the wind blow me around
Take my shot in New York City
It's pretty this time of year
I just wish you were here
Let's go to some cities
? ain't a city
London, Paris, Rome
Don't want to do it on my own
Let's go see the world
We'll see the world together
I think I'll try Las Vegas
Throw some money around
Then blow off to Chicago
Let the wind blow me around
Take my shot in New York City
It's pretty this time of year
I just wish you were here
I think I'll try Las Vegas
Throw some money around
Then blow off to Chicago
Let the wind blow me around
Take my shot in New York City
It's pretty this time of year
I just wish you were here
In Bryce Pallister's song "City to City," the lyrics describe a restless wanderlust in search of adventure, as the singer contemplates traveling to various cities across America and the world. The song begins with the singer looking back on a picture of themselves from five years ago, when they believed they had the whole world at their fingertips and no intentions of letting go. The lyrics then emphasize the idea that it is not what you don't know that matters, but what you don't know that you don't know.
The chorus repeats with the singer expressing their desire to try Las Vegas, Chicago, and New York City, wishing that their companion was with them to experience it. The second verse features the singer reflecting on how they have found themselves in places that they had talked about with their companion, and how they wish that their companion was with them to have a better time. The bridge then introduces the idea of traveling with a companion and seeing the world together, before ending with another chorus.
The lyrics' tone is wistful and hopeful at the same time, with the singer looking to explore the world and find new experiences, yet feeling regretful that their companion is not there to share it with them. The song's message is about seizing opportunities to see and experience new things, but also the importance of having someone to share those experiences with.

Found this picture
Looking at a picture of myself from the past
Of me five years ago
Taken five years ago
When I thought I had the world at my fingertips
Feeling like I was in control and could do anything
No intentions of letting go
Determined to keep going and not give up
But it's not what you don't know
What you're ignorant of isn't important
It's what you don't know you don't know
What you're unaware of is where the real danger lies
I think I'll try Las Vegas
I'm considering visiting Las Vegas
Throw some money around
Spend money frivolously
Then blow off to Chicago
Travel to Chicago impulsively
Let the wind blow me around
Letting go of control and letting fate guide me
Take my shot in New York City
I'm planning on trying to make it big in New York
It's pretty this time of year
The city is particularly beautiful right now
I just wish you were here
I miss having you with me
Found myself in places
I've ended up in unfamiliar locations
That we talked about in our lives
That we had discussed previously in our conversations
I like to think if you were here with me
Pondering how the experience would be different with someone else around
I'd have a better time
The experience would be more enjoyable if you were here
Let's go to some cities
Suggesting we visit multiple destinations
? ain't a city
A playful way of saying an unknown place isn't worth visiting
London, Paris, Rome
Desirable cities to visit
Don't want to do it on my own
Don't want to travel solo
Let's go see the world
Let's explore different places
We'll see the world together
We can experience the world as a team
I think I'll try Las Vegas
Still contemplating visiting Las Vegas
Throw some money around
Continue to spend money carelessly
Then blow off to Chicago
Head off to Chicago on a whim
Let the wind blow me around
Going with the flow and see where life takes you
Take my shot in New York City
Making an attempt to succeed in New York
It's pretty this time of year
New York looks especially beautiful right now
I just wish you were here
The desire to share the experience with someone else
