New York City
Daniel Blair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I were in my room in the city, I'd make sure I'm high enough
I wanna keep the music with me as I dance along the street
I wanna live in New York City, just my low budget studio and me
If I lived in New York City where the people never sleep
Cuz there's so much to do in the city and there's people I can meet
Maybe if I'm doing shitty, go to Broadway, take a seat
I wanna live in New York City cuz I don't know how it feels
To wake up to a new kinda city that can change a guy for real
Always thinking bout who will miss me and if they would come and see
As I head into New York City with nothing but a little bit of weed
If I were back in New York City with its building's high and tough
If I were in my room in the city, I'd make sure I'm high enough
I wanna keep the music with me as I dance along the street
I wanna live in New York City, just my low budget studio and me
If I were back in New York City with its building's high and tough
If I were in my room in the city, I'd make sure I'm high enough
I wanna keep the music with me as I dance along the street
I wanna live in New York City, just my low budget studio and me
Oh, I wanna live in New York City
Just my low budget studio and me
