New York Without You
Unveiling New York's Heartache: A Melodic Tale of Loss and Laughter
Lyrics
It's hard to tell you this
Expressing difficulty in conveying a message
Because I didn't get
Regret for not having the chance to express something
To say goodbye
Unsaid farewell
Something about you that
Notable quality in the person being referred to
Made me laugh inside
Positive impact, causing inner joy
Don't ask me why
Request to avoid asking for a specific reason
But New York without you
Emphasizing the significant impact of the person on New York
Just isn't New York
Stating that New York feels incomplete without the person
Walking up Bleecker Street
Recalling experiences on Bleecker Street
I'd see that 313 and 315
Notable addresses, possibly associated with memories
You'd just opened the Gallery
Reference to the opening of a gallery
Said it would be good for me
The gallery opening suggested as beneficial
And you were right
Acknowledging the positive impact of the advice
But New York without you
Reiterating the theme of New York missing the person
Just isn't quite New York
Emphasizing the alteration in the essence of New York
New York without you
Repetition of the idea of New York lacking something
When I crossed the Bowery
Reference to Bowery and associated memories
I'd see the Chrysler beam
Noting the presence of the Chrysler building
Past Union Square
Reflections on Union Square
If you could make it there, they say
Quoting the famous saying about making it in New York
You'd make it anywhere
Highlighting the challenge of succeeding in New York
If life was fair
Commenting on life's fairness
But New York without you
Reiterating the impact of the person on New York
Just isn't New York
Stating the altered nature of New York without the person
And when the tides were low
Referencing support during difficult times
You'd be there for me
Expressing dependability during low phases
And when the going got tough
Emphasizing toughness in challenging situations
You'd get tough on me
Reciprocal toughness in the relationship
If I was silent you'd have a word with me or two
Expectation of communication even in silence
You'd say "go on, don't mind, all the world will see"
Encouragement to proceed despite the world's opinions
New York without you
Reiterating the impact of the person on New York
Just isn't New York
Underscoring the change in New York without the person
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Expressing a sense of loss through musical interlude
Just isn't New York
Repeating the idea that New York is not the same without the person
Something about you that
Undisclosed quality about the person
No one figured out
Emphasizing the mysterious aspect of the person
Maybe that's why
Speculation on the reason for New York missing the person
New York without
Ending with the thought of New York without the person
