You're Scaring Me

Sometimes you kick me in the teeth
Sometimes you don't
Lost cause on the lower East Side
I hope it doesn't show
Same words but they never sound the same
Could we slow down and try it all again?

It feels like everything is bigger
Than the last time that you let me visit
You are beautiful but you're scaring me, New York
Settled down and scaring me, New York

Subway trains lost between the lines
Leave me in the dark
How will I ever get to Williamsburg
If I don't know where to start?
Long nights when the city keeps me longing
For one last drink cos' this heat is overwhelming

It feels like everything you've promised
Isn't here now, everything I've wanted
You are beautiful but you're scaring me, New York
Settled down and scaring me, New York

Don't let me walk away from you without your words
That you will never change
Sometimes you kick me in the teeth
Sometimes you don't
You are beautiful but you're scaring me, New York
