New York City
Ed Sheeran Lyrics

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Expressing excitement or anticipation.

Five drinks in on Friday night
After consuming five drinks on a Friday night.

We only came to dry your eyes
We arrived with the purpose of comforting you.

And get you out of your room
And encouraging you to leave your room.

Now this bar has closed its doors
Now that the bar has closed for the night.

I found my hand is holding yours
I realized that our hands are intertwined.

Do you wanna go home so soon?
Are you ready to leave already?

Or maybe we should take a ride through the night
Perhaps we should go for a drive during the night.

And sing along to every song that's on the radio
And sing along enthusiastically to all the songs playing on the radio.

In the back of a taxi cab in Brooklyn
While sitting in the backseat of a taxi cab located in Brooklyn.

Oh, no, no, the sun could rise
Expressing concern that it may soon be morning.

Burning all the street lamps out at 3 AM
When the sun rises, it will extinguish the street lamps that are currently lit at 3 AM.

So, DJ, play it again
Requesting the DJ to replay the previous song.

Until the night turns into morning
Continuing the celebration until the night ends.

You'll be in my arms
You will remain in my embrace.

And we'll just keep driving
We will keep driving without a specific destination.

Along the boulevard
Along the main road or avenue.

And if I kissed you, darling
If I were to kiss you, my dear.

Please don't be alarmed
Please do not be startled or worried.

It's just the start
This is only the beginning.

Of everything if you want
The start of a potential relationship or experience if you desire it.

A new love
A fresh, romantic connection.

In New York
Within the city of New York.

Yesterday gave me a call
Reflecting on the previous day's events.

Stressing out about it all
Feeling overwhelmed or anxious about everything.

You said the world is moving too fast
You expressed the feeling that life is progressing rapidly.

And you don't know where to begin
Feeling unsure about how to start or navigate through life's challenges.

'Cause you've spent a lifetime fitting in
Because you have dedicated your life to conforming or blending in.

Only to wind up on the other side
Only to find yourself in a different situation or perspective.

By yourself
Alone or without companionship.

And every day
Each day that passes.

Screaming out
Expressing loudly or passionately.

To all the people that you used to know
To all the individuals from your past.

From a window that looks upon Manhattan skyline
From a vantage point overlooking the skyline of Manhattan.

It's just the way that life goes
This is just the typical course of life.

And you hear it in every song you know
You recognize this sentiment in every song you are familiar with.

And every song that plays
Referring to all the songs being played.

Is just like the day you had
Resembling the experiences you had during the day.

And it's okay to cry
It is acceptable to shed tears.

But I'm saying maybe that's a waste of water
However, I suggest that it might be an unnecessary use of resources.

You know I'm here for you
You are aware that I am here to support you.

In the back of the taxi cab tonight
Tonight, inside the taxi cab's rear seat.

And you're still in my arms
You are still being held in my embrace.

And we've stopped driving
We have ceased driving.

Down the boulevard
Along the main road or avenue.

And I just kissed you, darling
And I simply kissed you, my dear.

I hope you weren't alarmed
I hope you were not startled or worried.

It's just the start
This is only the beginning.

Of everything that you want
The start of anything you desire.

A new love
A fresh, romantic connection.

In New York
Within the city of New York.
