French New York
French Dreams in Neon: A Musical Journey through New York
Lyrics
I’ve got French friends in New York
I have friends from France who live in New York.
They don’t have subway cards but they make it work
They don't possess subway cards, but they manage to get around.
Non, non, ne t'inquiète pas Ce soir tu peux rester chez moi”
"No, no, don't worry. Tonight, you can stay at my place."
I fell asleep in the neon glow
I fell asleep surrounded by the vibrant glow of neon lights.
I use my bag as my pillow
My bag serves as my makeshift pillow.
I thought of ways I could make it work
I contemplated ways to make things work.
I thought of how I could let it go
I thought about how I could let go of certain things.
Never, never, never all alone again
I will never be alone again.
When the sun comes out, you’ll have your shadow friends
When the sun is out, I will have companions or friends.
Speaking English in my French head again
I find myself speaking English in my French mindset once again.
New New York is the new Paris, let’s pretend
The idea is presented that the new version of New York is akin to Paris; a playful suggestion to pretend.
I’ve still got French friends in New York
I still have friends from France in New York.
dusty floors and last night’s smoke all in my hair and in my clothes
My surroundings include dusty floors and the lingering scent of last night's smoke in my hair and clothes.
Oh, French New York you’re just like home
The concept of "French New York" is likened to a homey feeling.
City lights and friends of friends
City lights and friends of friends are part of the experience.
I’ll crash on couches till the end
I will continue to stay on friends' couches until the end.
My thoughts still wander when my feet are sore
Even when my feet are tired, my thoughts still wander.
Sometimes lost, but always at your door
Despite being sometimes lost, I always find my way to your door.
Never, never, never all alone again
I will never be alone again.
When the sun comes out, you’ll have your shadow friends
When the sun is out, I will have companions or friends.
Speaking English in my French head again
I find myself speaking English in my French mindset once again.
New New York is the new Paris, let’s pretend
The idea is reiterated that the new version of New York is comparable to Paris, inviting the listener to imagine or pretend.
