Me Or New York
Alicia Witt Lyrics

all of these faces look just the same
Everyone around me seems to blend into one another, and I can't seem to find anyone who truly knows me.

lookin for someone in me
I am searching for an identity that truly represents me, rather than pretending to be someone I am not.

all of em wanting to see how i've changed
People around me are constantly looking for changes in my life, but no one really cares about the reasons behind those changes.

i don't know who's to blame… me or new york
I am unsure if the root cause of my identity crisis lies within myself or the fast-paced, chaotic environment of New York City.

they keep on askin where are you goin
People keep asking me about my future plans, but I don't have a definite answer because my identity is still uncertain.

i don't have the answer in me
I am still figuring out who I am and what I want out of life.

they keep on bein so sure without knowin
People make assumptions about me without truly understanding who I am, making me feel even more isolated and uncertain about my identity.

there aint no place like home it's me or new york
I am torn between the familiarity and comfort of home and the excitement and opportunities of New York City, but I must choose which one will help me discover my true identity.

me and new york never sleep any more
The fast-paced environment of New York City never slows down, and it's hard to keep up with it.

we just keep movin on without goin nowhere
Despite the constant movement and activity in the city, it often feels like I am not making any real progress towards discovering my true identity.

leavin before i could take it or go
I am constantly moving forward without giving myself time to fully process my surroundings and make a conscious decision about my future.

now i'm tired and nobody's going to care
After so much movement and uncertainty, I am exhausted, and it feels like no one truly understands or cares about my struggles.

what are we waitin here for it's me or new york
I must decide whether I want to continue living in New York City and face the challenges of discovering my true identity, or return home where I feel a sense of belonging and familiarity.

outta these windows they keep on movin
Despite feeling stuck and uncertain, everything around me keeps moving and changing, making it hard to find my place in it all.

i just wanna fall back asleep
I wish I could escape the chaos and stop struggling to find my identity. Sometimes it feels easier to just sleep through it all.

all of their eyes on me faintly accusing
I feel like everyone is watching me and judging me, but I don't even know who I am supposed to be, let alone live up to everyone else's expectations.

who are you tryin to be…
I am constantly trying to figure out my true identity, but the pressure from others around me makes it even harder to do so.

late nights fade into
As time passes, I am losing track of the days and nights, and the constant uncertainty is starting to wear me down.

day light wired and
Even during the day, I feel overly stimulated and restless, as if I can never escape the constant activity and movement of the city.

weary we dream all alone
Despite being surrounded by so many people, I still feel alone in my struggle to find my true identity.

the trains and my mind losin track of the time
Both the trains and my own thoughts are moving so fast that I can no longer keep track of time or keep up with them.

one or the other must go
I cannot continue living in both worlds forever. Eventually, I must choose whether to fully embrace New York City and all its challenges or return home and find a sense of belonging there.
