lyrics

I'm in New York
I'm in New York
I'm in New York

But my heart's in the walls
Of your father's house
Beating in the beams for you
I forget what solitude is
With your arms on my skin

But I'm in New York
I'm in New York
I'm in New York

By myself with my soul intact
Under a knotty tree up in Central Park
I wish there was some way
To entomb this emotion

I know I hurt you too much
When I said I don't deserve you
I just can't feel free
I just can't feel free

Each time it's like I'm out on the lam
Looking over my shoulder to see
Karma setting up a snare for me

There's some green grass to be sure
But it just grows in the dirt
How could I put anything before your pain

There's seven years of ours
There's seven years of ours
How could I put anything before your pain

But I'm in New York
I'm in New York
I'm in New York

It's a city of people
And I am a shade
I made up a mind
Then dissolved it in tears

But I'm in New York
I'm in New York
I'm in New York

At least I'm speaking honestly
For my own needs
It might be the first time in years
But I can't say for sure

Don't want to break your heart twice
But there's something out of place
I just can't feel free
I just can't feel free

Each time it's like I'm out on the lam
Looking over my shoulder to see
Karma setting up a snare for me

There's some green grass to be sure
But it just grows in the dirt
How could I put anything before your pain

There's seven years of ours
There's seven years of ours
How could I put anything before your pain
