lyrics

I hate the smell of New York
It sticks to all of my clothes
The cars are all loud
The subway is crowded
There isn’t much keeping me here

I love the feeling of her kiss
It’s so soft yet ever so urgent
The sun hanging down
My mind is clouded
She’s what’s keeping me here

My only job is to tell her
That we don’t have to stay here forever

It’s not much warmer than Maine
The drivers are all fucking insane
I got in a crash
I felt the backlash
That was before I learned

I hate the haze of New York
Those kids they want something more
They all walk in line
How perfect the timing
I suppose ignorance is bliss

My only job is to tell her
That we don’t have to stay here forever

Connections like this
Make me optimistic
But people keep trying to read me

My only job is to find out whether
You’ll stay or go I’ll be wherever
I’ll do whatever
