Lyrics

I'm not your cool Brooklyn kid

I don't fit the stereotype of a trendy Brooklyn resident

I wish I was

Expressing a desire to be perceived as a "cool Brooklyn kid"

I'm not calm and I'm not silent

I am not composed or tranquil

I wish I was

Expressing a wish to possess calmness and silence

I'm sick of writing all these songs you'll never hear

Frustration about creating songs that may never be heard

I'm sick of writing all these songs

Repetition of frustration with the songwriting process

And come back from New York City

Yearning to return from New York City

I think I like you

Expressing a liking or attraction towards someone

And come back from New York City

Reiteration of the desire to come back from New York City

I think I do

Reaffirmation of liking or attraction towards someone

And we could just drink a Highlife

Suggesting a casual activity like sharing a Highlife beer

We shouldn't live a low life

Advocating for a positive, high-quality lifestyle

And come back from New York City

Reiteration of the desire to come back from New York City

I think I do

Reaffirmation of liking or attraction towards someone

I'm not your Bushwick basement

Not associating with the stereotypical Bushwick basement scene

I'll never be

Expressing the impossibility of fitting into the described environment

I'm not drunk and I'm not wasted

Not inebriated or wasted

You said you'd leave

Referring to a promise or threat to leave

I'm sick of writing all these songs you'll never hear

Continued frustration about unheard songs

I'm sick of writing all songs

Repetition of frustration with the songwriting process

And come back from New York City

Yearning to return from New York City

I think I like you

Reiteration of liking or attraction towards someone

And come back from New York City

Reiteration of the desire to come back from New York City

I think I do

Reaffirmation of liking or attraction towards someone

And we could just drink a Highlife

Suggesting a casual activity like sharing a Highlife beer

We shouldn't live a low life

Advocating for a positive, high-quality lifestyle

And come back from New York City

Reiteration of the desire to come back from New York City

I think I do

Reaffirmation of liking or attraction towards someone

I held you captive in my mind

Expressing a mental attachment to someone

Only place I could ever think to call you mine

Describing the mind as the only place to claim someone as yours

And come back from New York City

Yearning to return from New York City

I think I like you

Reiteration of liking or attraction towards someone

And come back from New York City

Reiteration of the desire to come back from New York City

I think I do

Reaffirmation of liking or attraction towards someone

And we could just drink a Highlife

Suggesting a casual activity like sharing a Highlife beer

We shouldn't live a low life

Advocating for a positive, high-quality lifestyle

And come back from New York City

Reiteration of the desire to come back from New York City

I think I do

Reaffirmation of liking or attraction towards someone
