New York Times
D-Why Lyrics

I met the girl of my dreams in a coffee shop last week
Recently, I came across a woman who I believed is my soulmate at a cafe.

Somewhere on the Lower East Side
The cafe was situated on the eastern side of the city.

She walked in the door with her dog and a friend
She entered the establishment accompanied by her furry four-legged companion and a friend.

Who was lost in the New York Times
The friend was distracted reading a newspaper which happened to be the New York Times.

I am pacing back and forth feeling nervous
I am anxious and cannot sit still, so I pace back and forth.

Accidentally spilled my coffee on purpose
I intentionally spilled my beverage, hoping she would take notice of me.

Hoping she'd notice, she turned away
However, she ignored my action and proceeded to pay the clerk.

Paid the cashier, have a nice day
She gave the cashier some money and wished him/her farewell.

I'm waiting for the train, I'm watching the people
While I am waiting for the train, I am observing the people around me.

So busy as they all walk by
Everyone appears to be preoccupied with their errands as they pass by.

The doors they slide open, it's hot and it's crowded
When the train doors opened, the compartment was sweltering and crowded.

Living in these New York Times
This city can be quite a challenge to live in.

I am not to be bothered by no one
I do not intend to let anyone disturb me.

Put on my headphones to drown the commotion
I wear earphones to cancel out the noise from my surroundings.

But a fight breaks out right in front of me
Unfortunately, an altercation occurs right before my eyes.

Get off at the next stop before they try to run on me
I quickly leave the train as I fear that the fight may escalate and someone may harm me.

I look for love everywhere I go
I am always searching for true love, no matter where I am.

I've been asking why is the world so cold?
I am struggling to understand why the world can be such a cold and unkind place.

Been tempted twice, will I sell my soul?
I have been offered compromising situations twice, and I am contemplating selling my soul for my desires.

I keep asking why is the world so cold?
I am persistently searching for the answer to why the world can be so harsh.

So cold, so cold, is the world so cold?
The world can be an unforgiving and cold place, which I am reminded of constantly.

I'm Hollywood bound with a dollar and lint
I am headed towards Hollywood with only a few cents in my name.

In my pocket, but I'm doing fine
Despite having very little left, I remain optimistic and content.

Meeting at two, but I'll probably be late
I have a meeting scheduled at two, but unfortunately, I may not arrive on time.

Cause I'm still stuck on New York time
I am still used to my New York timezone and may be struggling to adjust to my new schedule.

Then I get stuck in traffic for an hour
Later, I find myself stuck in traffic for an extended period of time.

Wise man told me, "patience is power"
As I practice patience while stuck in the traffic, I recall the wisdom shared with me that patience is a great virtue.

But he probably wasn't stuck in traffic, was he?
I begin to contemplate if the wise man ever experienced the frustration of being stuck in traffic before advising me.

It's crazy how the 405 is ugly
I am amazed at how awful the sight of route 405 is.

Now I'm lost in a small town somewhere outside Phoenix
At a point, I realize that I have lost my bearings and am in a small locality outside of Phoenix.

Decided to go for a drive
I chose to take a leisurely drive to appreciate the countryside beauty around me.

This place looks Brooklyn, I'm loving it here
I observe that the small town resembles Brooklyn and start enjoying my pleasant surroundings.

And I'm having a New York Time
Although I am not in New York, I am still enjoying myself and feeling exhilarated.

Except I can really see the stars right above me
I am astonished to find that I can clearly see the stars above me, which I never could have seen in the city,

No pollution, nothing but me
In this solitary spot, there is no pollution, and it is only me in this vast realm of nature.

Suddenly the city lights flash
Just then, the vibrant lights and bustling city life of New York come flooding back to my mind.

Then I'm right back, just like that
All of a sudden, I am back to reality and back to New York City once again.

Left to die, lived to tell
A brush with death, but I managed to walk away unscathed and share the story.

Summer's gone, wish you well
Summer is over, and I hope you are faring well in life.

But I don't know where I'm driving to, driving crazy
I am unsure where I am going, and this is causing me to feel agitated.

Driving Miss Daisy 'til I'm pushing up daises
I will keep on driving until I am old and grey or until I die.

It may be that the woman I met who told me never forget
I am considering the possibility that the woman I met a while back may have had a valuable message for me: to never forget something important.

Was the same one who left and made me live with this regret
Maybe the same woman I just mentioned is the one who left me behind with this feeling of remorse.

No talking now, I'm walking now, just put me in a coffin now
I am much too pained to speak or remain stationary, I'd rather head directly to my grave.

Throw me in the ground, I hope they miss when I'm not around
When I pass away, I would like to disappear unnoticed and be buried underground.

But I'll be fine, cause in due time, I'll start to climb
Despite all of this, I'm optimistic that things will turn out okay, as I intend to climb up from this low point in life.

And reach my prime, then walk the line, I free my mind sometimes
I have hope that better things await me, and once I find my groove, I will march forward confidently with a clear state of mind.

When you least want it, that's when life will throw you the signs
Throughout life, it's necessary to keep an open mind as sometimes the opportunities for growth or change present themselves at unexpected moments.

Cause if love is what you're looking for, it's love you'll never find
If one is searching for love, they may never discover it, so instead we should focus on living presently and making positive changes.
