Downtown Dreamer

Lyrics : She's from the other side of town... Let's go. She's from the other side of town, where the boulevards are wide I'm in a beat-up sedan, she's in a brand new ride I work the late shift, she's got a corner office view But every time she smiles at me, I forget what I'm supposed to do She wears designer, I wear the same old hoodie every week But she don't care about the labels, she just likes the way I speak I'm a downtown dreamer, she's an uptown queen And somehow in between, we're the strangest thing I've seen They say we don't make sense, say we don't fit the frame But they don't see the way she says my name She pulls me closer when the lights go down And suddenly I'm the king of this town Downtown dreamer, uptown girl We're from different worlds, but we built our own swirl She don't care about my pockets, don't care about my ride She just likes the way I hold her when we're sitting side by side Downtown dreamer, uptown girl We're the kind of crazy that makes sense in a different world So let them talk, let them stare We're the only ones who know what's really there She introduced me to her friends, they looked at me like I was lost But she held my hand and told them "he's the one who counts the cost" I took her to my favorite diner where the coffee's always cheap She said it's better than the restaurants where they only serve the sheep She's learning how to slow down, I'm learning how to reach And every night we're finding something new that we can teach I'm a downtown dreamer, she's an uptown queen And the in-between is the best place I've ever been They say we don't make sense, say we don't fit the frame But they don't see the way she says my name She pulls me closer when the lights go down And suddenly I'm the king of this town Downtown dreamer, uptown girl We're from different worlds, but we built our own swirl She don't care about my pockets, don't care about my ride She just likes the way I hold her when we're sitting side by side Downtown dreamer, uptown girl We're the kind of crazy that makes sense in a different world So let them talk, let them stare We're the only ones who know what's really there I used to think that love was something you had to earn That you needed all the right connections, had to wait your turn But she showed up in my beat-up sedan, didn't care about the rust She said "the only thing that matters is the person that I trust" So let the uptown keep their uptown, let the downtown keep its blues We're the only ones who figured out the secret that they lose It's not about the money, not about the name you hold It's about the way you make somebody feel like they're made of gold DOWNTOWN DREAMER, UPTOWN GIRL! We're from different worlds, but we built our own swirl! SHE DON'T CARE ABOUT MY POCKETS, DON'T CARE ABOUT MY RIDE! She just likes the way I hold her when we're sitting side by side! DOWNTOWN DREAMER, UPTOWN GIRL! We're the kind of crazy that makes sense in a different world! SO LET THEM TALK, LET THEM STARE! WE'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW WHAT'S REALLY THERE! (WHAT'S REALLY THERE!) Downtown dreamer... Uptown girl... We made our own world...
