New York
Lost in the City of Dreams: A Love Story Unraveled by Distance
Lyrics
I can just tell, know this story so well
I have a strong sense of familiarity with this story.
I just can't get her out of my head
I can't stop thinking about her.
The back of that cab when I never had
Recalling a moment in the back of a cab when I had no reason to follow her.
A reason to go where she led
She led me somewhere without a clear purpose.
So where was this going, and all the while knowing
Wondering about the direction of our relationship, aware that I might take a plane in any case.
That I'd catch a plane either way
Considering the possibility of a journey.
But maybe tonight if I played my cards right
Hoping that tonight, through strategic actions, I might find a reason to stay.
I'd find a reason to stay
Seeking a compelling reason to remain.
She's in New York and I'm in the deep blue sea
She is in New York, and I am distant and isolated like the deep blue sea.
She's just a dream and that's all that she can be for me
She exists only in my dreams, and that's the extent of our connection.
I'm taking this slowly, but I'm feeling lonely
Taking things slowly, experiencing a sense of loneliness.
And I hope she is feeling it too
Hoping she shares the same feelings.
Closing my eyes I remember that night
Recalling a specific night and the rhythm of our connection.
And the rhythm that we fell into
Remembering the emotional flow of that night.
If everyone else in that city had left,
If everyone else had disappeared, I wouldn't have noticed for a while.
I wouldn't have known for awhile
Reflecting on the potential obliviousness to surroundings.
Yeah I'd still be sitting there, stuck in the moment where
Imagining being stuck in a moment when she smiled at me.
She leaned in to give me a smile
Recalling a significant moment when she smiled at me.
She's in New York and I'm in the deep blue sea
She is in New York, and I feel isolated like the deep blue sea.
She's just a dream and that's all that she can be for me
She remains a dream, with no tangible connection for me.
And I'm sinking, I'm sinking
Feeling a sense of sinking or emotional descent.
In the deep blue sea
Experiencing a deep emotional descent into isolation.
I'm sinking, I'm sinking
Continuing to sink into emotional isolation.
In the deep blue sea
Persisting in the emotional descent into the deep blue sea.
She's in New York and I'm in the deep blue sea
She is in New York, and I am still isolated in the deep blue sea.
She's just a dream, does she think of me
She remains a dream, and I wonder if she thinks of me.
She's in New York and I'm in the deep blue sea
She is in New York, and I continue to feel isolated in the deep blue sea.
She's just a dream and so I guess I'll just sleep
She is just a dream, and so I resign myself to sleep.
