[Live Performance @ Hot August Night III - The Greek Theatre - Los Angeles, CA - August 24th, 2012] <br /><br />Lyrics: <br /><br />L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time <br />And the feeling is "lay back" <br />Palm trees grow and rents are low <br />But you know I keep thinkin' about <br />Making my way back <br />Well I'm New York City born and raised <br />But nowadays <br />I'm lost between two shores <br />L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home <br />New York's home <br />But it ain't mine no more <br />"I am"... I said <br />To no one there <br />And no one heard at all <br />Not even the chair <br />"I am"... I cried <br />"I am"... said I <br />And I am lost and I can't <br />Even say why <br />Leavin' me lonely still <br />Did you ever read about a frog <br />Who dreamed of bein' a king <br />And then became one <br />Well except for the names <br />And a few other changes <br />If you talk about me <br />The story is the same one <br />But I got an emptiness deep inside <br />And I've tried <br />But it won't let me go <br />And I'm not a man who likes to swear <br />But I never cared <br />For the sound of being alone <br />"I am"... I said <br />To no one there <br />And no one heard at all <br />Not even the chair <br />"I am"... I cried <br />"I am"... said I <br />And I am lost and I can't <br />Even say why <br />"I am"... I said <br />"I am"... I cried <br />"I am" <br />Songwriter(s): Diamond, Neil. <br />I Am...
