New City Evenings (Indie Folk)

[Intro] (fingerpicked guitar, distant city hum) [Verse 1] Boxes in the hallway, keys that still feel strange A view of someone else's rooftops, everything has changed I know the way to work now, but not a single name And when the sun goes down here, the quiet feels the same [Pre-Chorus] But every street was new once To everyone who stays [Chorus] New city evenings, I'm finding my feet Saying hello to the shop down the street The lights in the windows don't know me yet But I'm not giving up on this place, not yet One small step, one open door Tomorrow I'll know it a little more New city evenings, slow and kind I'm making a home, one night at a time [Verse 2] I signed up for a class on Tuesday, sat right near the front A girl asked where I came from, we laughed about the move I called my mum and told her that the bakery knows my order It's not much, but it's something, and something's what I'll use [Pre-Chorus] And every street was new once To everyone who stays [Chorus] New city evenings, I'm finding my feet Saying hello to the shop down the street The lights in the windows don't know me yet But I'm not giving up on this place, not yet One small step, one open door Tomorrow I'll know it a little more New city evenings, slow and kind I'm making a home, one night at a time [Bridge] If the lonely feeling finds me I'll take a walk and let it be I'll send a message, make a plan Friendship grows the way it can [Final Chorus] New city evenings, I'm finding my feet This little corner is starting to feel sweet One small step, one open door Tomorrow I'll know it a little more New city evenings, slow and kind I'm making a home, one night at a time [Outro] (guitar fades) One night at a time
