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
