New York

When I’m looking up on avenue five
I wonder when I'll say my goodbyes
Why the internet says LA is fine
But all the heat makes me go blind

I promised to stay
When I was seventeen
Tossing back amphetamines
I always would pray
That every old routine
Would break the second we convened

Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York

You’re the only antidote to my life
Not another day without your skyline
All the Angeles been under the knife
I’d do anything to see through your eyes

I promised to stay
When I was seventeen
Tossing back amphetamines
I always would pray
That every old routine
Would break the second we convened

Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York

I can’t go any further without you
My sweet my sweet apple of my eye
I want your stinky streets in my memories
The holiday lights always on

Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
