Lyrics
Young mothers, schoolgirls and me
Youthful mothers, schoolgirls, and myself
Exercise and therapy endless possibilities
Engaging in exercise and therapy with endless possibilities
So it's funny I'm still sleeping in
Ironically, I'm still sleeping in
Girl, I am still missing you
Expressing a sense of longing for a girl
I can't take the interview
Unable to handle an interview
I don't know what else to do
Feeling uncertain about what to do
What's happening, New York?
Pondering the state of affairs in New York
Take a holiday
Suggesting to take a break or vacation
'Cause I can hear them calling
Hearing a call to action
What's happening, New York?
Questioning the current situation in New York
What's happening, New York?
Repeating the question about New York
Young mothers, schoolgirls and me
Similar to the first verse, emphasizing routine
Exercise and therapy there is nothing on TV
No interesting content on TV during therapy
So it's funny I'm still sleeping in
Still sleeping in, reinforcing a sense of stagnation
Girl, I am still missing you
Continued expression of missing someone
I can't take the interview
Unable to handle an interview, paralleling line 5
All my friends are moving too
Friends are moving, indicating changes around
What's happening, New York?
Reiterating the question about New York
Take a holiday
Encouraging a holiday to escape the routine
'Cause I can hear them calling
Hearing a call to action, repeating line 10
What's happening, New York?
Repeating the question about New York
What's happening, New York? Take a holiday
Repeating the idea of taking a holiday with a twist
'Cause my life turned out boring
Life turned out boring, expressing dissatisfaction
What's happening, New York?
Repeating the question about New York
What's happening, New York?
-Days go by the same again
Emphasizing the monotonous passage of time
Days go by the same again
Reiterating the repetitive nature of days
You and I are separate
Highlighting separation between the speaker and someone else
And sometimes I can't stand the wait
Expressing impatience with the waiting
I have got to get away
Feeling the need to escape
Just phone all night and sleep all day
Suggesting a lifestyle of staying up all night and sleeping during the day
Well, that doesn't sound like paradise to me
Rejecting the idea that this lifestyle is paradise
Take a holiday
Encouraging a holiday, repeating line 22
'Cause I can hear them calling
Hearing a call to action, repeating line 23
What's happening, New York?
Repeating the question about New York
What's happening, New York? Take a holiday
Repeating the idea of taking a holiday, with a twist
'Cause my life turned out boring
Life turned out boring, echoing line 26
What's happening, New York?
Repeating the question about New York
What's happening, New York?
-What's happening, New York?
-What's happening, New York?
-What's happening, New York?
-Give me Aspen in New York
Expressing a desire
