This City
StoneFox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, nature's pretty
But so is this city
So don't dance
Till they do

And if they're calling shots
Well, don't drink up
They'll walk
All over you

'Cause there's only one thing
I've learned
After leaving home with no words
And that one thing
Got lost in the waves

Got lost in the

I'll never go home in the summer
Yeah, that is what we used to say
I'll never be cold with a lover
'Cause my heart is where I shake

I'll never go home in the summer
Yeah, that is what we used to say
I'll never be cold with a lover
'Cause my heart is where I shake

(Got lost in the waves)

Yeah, nature's pretty
But so is this city
So don't dance
Till they do

And if they're calling shots
Well, don't drink up
They'll walk
All over you

'Cause there's only one thing
I've learned
After leaving home with no words
And that one thing
Got lost in the waves

Got lost in the

I'll never go home in the summer
Yeah, that is what we used to say
I'll never be cold with a lover
'Cause my heart is where I shake

I'll never go home in the summer
Yeah, that is what we used to say
I'll never be cold with a lover
'Cause my heart is where I shake

(One thing, one thing, one thing, one thing)
(One thing, one thing, one thing, one thing)
I'll never go home in the summer
Yeah, that is what we used to say




I'll never be cold with a lover
'Cause my heart is where I shake

In the chorus, she warns against being too quick to dance and drink up, suggesting that you shouldn't let yourself be taken advantage of by those who call the shots.

Line by Line Meaning

Yeah, nature's pretty
The beauty of nature is undeniable


But so is this city
The beauty of the city is also significant and cannot be ignored


So don't dance
Don't jump into action too quickly


Till they do
Wait until the circumstances are favorable


And if they're calling shots
If those in power are making decisions


Well, don't drink up
Avoid being influenced by them


They'll walk
They can easily take advantage of you


All over you
And manipulate you to their advantage


'Cause there's only one thing
After experiencing something significant


I've learned
I've gained knowledge from that experience


After leaving home with no words
After departing home without saying goodbye


And that one thing
That gained knowledge


Got lost in the waves
Has been forgotten


I'll never go home in the summer
I will never return home during the summer season


Yeah, that is what we used to say
It's something we always used to claim


I'll never be cold with a lover
I will always feel warm and loved when I'm with my partner


'Cause my heart is where I shake
My emotions are intense and deep

One of the best songs I know:

L Y R I C S
Yeah natures pretty
But so is this city
So don't dance

Till they do
And if they're calling shots
Well don't drink up
They'll walk
All over you

Cause theres only one thing I've learned
After nursing cold my salt burns
And that one thing
Got lost in the waves

Yeah they all see
Those things on screens
But they don't know
That the ones around trees yeah
They're not free
They just have
No where else to go

Cause theres only one thing
I've learned
After leaving home
With no words
And that one thing
Got lost in the waves

Got lost in the

I'll never go home in the summer
Yeah that is what we used to say
I'll never be cold with a lover
Cause my heart is where I shake

We will try
To lose our sight
Staring at
The sun
But its alright
If we're
Killing time
We're not the only ones

Cause theres only one thing
I've learned
After being blind
To the world
And that one thing
Got lost in the waves

Got lost in the

I'll never go home in the summer
Yeah that is what we used to say
I'll never be cold with a lover
Cause my heart is where I shake

And all we get
Is just our luck
But all we need
Is what you've got
And the sea
And the sun
While we breathe
Oh to be young

I'll never go home in the summer
Yeah that is what we used to say
I'll never be cold with a lover
Cause my heart is where I shake

Me dói ver que esta música foi publicada em 2015 e não tem nem 100 mil visualizações, merecia demais muito mais que isso, que som incrível, amei muito!!! keep going Stonefox!! ❤️

@sintonizenaturalmente

cara, então, falta engajamento. Não é possível uma música dessa qualidade ter tão poucas views.

@hunterml210

Pelomenos o remix do Baskhar bateu 1 milhão. Pena o pessoa não procurar pela original :/
