Going to New York
Chasing Dreams in the City: Going to New York with Marloes van Asselt
Lyrics
We arise from the king bed
We wake up from a luxurious bed fit for a king
Scrambled eggs and bread
Having breakfast of scrambled eggs and bread
We’d be going to New York
Expressing a desire to go to New York
If the time was right
Suggesting the intention to go to New York if conditions are right
And now the time is right
Confirming that the opportune time has arrived
We are going to New York
Reiterating the decision to go to New York
But you keep talking
Noting a distraction or obstacle, possibly in conversation
About unfinished business
Mentioning lingering matters or unresolved issues
First some coffee
Suggesting a pause for coffee before returning to work
And then back to work
Emphasizing a commitment to work
Oh I feel lucky and pretty cool
Feeling fortunate and confident
But days are passing
Highlighting the passage of time without progress
And still we never move
Expressing a sense of stagnation or lack of movement
We’d be going to New York
Reiterating the desire to go to New York
If the time was right
Repeating the condition of going to New York when the time is right
And now the time is right
Confirming that the right time has come
We are going to New York.
Stating the decision to proceed to New York
Have you come to read my
Pondering if someone has insight into one's thoughts
mind?
Questioning the possibility of mind-reading
From the other side
Suggesting communication or connection from beyond
A chance to dream away
Describing New York as a place to dream and escape
A vibrant place to stay
Portraying New York as a vibrant and appealing destination
To shake off the day
Desiring to shake off the challenges of the day
We arise from the king bed
Repeating the scene of waking up from a luxurious bed
Scrambled eggs and bread
Repeating the breakfast of scrambled eggs and bread
We’d be going to New York
Reiterating the wish to go to New York
If the time was right
Repeating the condition of going to New York when the time is right
And now the time is right
Confirming that the right time has come (again)
We are going to New York
Reiterating the decision to go to New York
Still we never move
Highlighting the lack of actual movement despite the desire
