about

Hey everyone, thanks for being a part of my journey! While this song details leaving someone special behind, after I finished writing it, I started looking at it as a breakup song between me and my hometown of New York, as well. This song is super special to me so I hope you all get the gooey feels from it like I do!

lyrics

we used to laugh
we used to talk
we used to fight
then listen to The XX, have a lot of great sex, finish with a high five
we used to drink
we used to smoke fake cigarettes
lying on your mattress, wonderin' which address we should live next

but now i don’t ride the 5 anymore
and no i don’t cry in eastern time anymore
and no i don’t lie anymore
though i still get high, i don’t fly anymore to...

New York City
cause it ain’t too pretty
it’s such a pity to be living without you

now i take my car and my guitar down by the sand
and play a few songs that you used to hum along to
when you’d watch my band

but i don’t know the words anymore
cuz they don't hurt anymore
and no i don’t say "fine" anymore
though i still get high, i don’t fly anymore to...

New York City
cause it ain’t too pretty
it’s such a pity to be living without you in New York City

Maybe I was no good on these streets
i might have been born on concrete
but i’ll die with a better view

...of New York City
