New York
Discovering Love in the City That Never Sleeps
Lyrics
She says she loves New York
Expressing her love for New York
I mean I guess it's great
Indicating some uncertainty or reservation about New York
If you like mean streets at a high price
Describing the city as having challenging and expensive aspects
Of always being late
Highlighting the issue of punctuality in the fast-paced city
I'd like to think
Expressing a desire to be on par with the city's intensity
I could compete with that
Confidence in being able to match the city's energy
New York New York
Repetition of the city's name, emphasizing its significance
If I could be new york
Expressing a wish to embody the essence of New York
Or at least new to her
Or desiring to be new and captivating to the person
The big ol' apple of her eye
Using the metaphor of the "big ol' apple" to symbolize her attention
Watching the lights go by
Imagining shared moments of observing the city lights
We'd never sleep
Envisioning a lively and active lifestyle in the city
'Cause no one ever does
Noting the city's reputation for constant activity
New York New York
Reiterating the desire to be in New York
I really wish I was
Expressing a strong desire to be in the city
Oh, as vast as the city
Comparing the vastness of the city to her own feelings
She'd never know me
Speculating that she might not fully understand or recognize the speaker
Oh, at least not completely
Acknowledging the potential incompleteness of her knowledge
But you could tell she loves me
Asserting that she loves the speaker, evident in her actions
By the way she walks down all my streets
Noticing her affinity for the streets associated with the speaker
'Cause she knows they're made for her
Attributing a special connection between her and the city
In the city of dreams
Emphasizing the city's role as a place of dreams
You know it's all I ever do
Reiterating the speaker's constant thoughts about her
Just to wake up next to you
Expressing a deep desire to wake up next to her
Would be a god damn dream come true
Describing such an experience as a dream come true
(Is it the same for you?)
Questioning if the same dream exists for her
Is it the same for you?
Repeating the question, seeking confirmation or insight
Oh, as vast as the city
Reiterating the vastness of the city and the potential lack of understanding
She'd never know me
Speculating on her limited knowledge of the speaker
Oh, at least not completely
Acknowledging the possibility of incomplete understanding
But you could tell she loves me
Asserting that her love is evident in her actions
By the way she walks down all my streets
Observing her familiarity with the speaker's streets
'Cause she knows they're made for her
Reiterating the connection between her and the city's streets
She says she loves New York
Repeating her declaration of love for New York
(She'd never know me)
Emphasizing potential limited knowledge of the speaker
She says she loves New York
Repeating her love for New York
(Not completely)
Reiterating the potential incomplete understanding of the speaker
Look at the way she walks down all my streets
Highlighting her distinctive way of walking in the speaker's streets
'Cause she knows they're made for her
Affirming the connection between her and the city's streets
