When I’m looking up on avenue five I wonder when I'll say my goodbyes Why the internet says LA is fine But all the heat makes me go blind I promised to stay When I was seventeen Tossing back amphetamines I always would pray That every old routine Would break the second we convened Take me back to New York Take me back to New York Take me back to New York Take me back to New York You’re the only antidote to my life Not another day without your skyline All the Angeles been under the knife I’d do anything to see through your eyes I promised to stay When I was seventeen Tossing back amphetamines I always would pray That every old routine Would break the second we convened Take me back to New York Take me back to New York Take me back to New York Take me back to New York I can’t go any further without you My sweet my sweet apple of my eye I want your stinky streets in my memories The holiday lights always on Take me back to New York Take me back to New York Take me back to New York Take me back to New York
