New York City
Kelvin Jones Lyrics

I wish I was in New York City
The singer desires to be in New York City because the city has a lively nightlife environment that would complement his/her dreams, enabling them to shine

where the nights are bright
The singer is referring to the vibrant nightlife that New York City offers that potentially grants people the opportunity to make their dreams come true

so my dreams can shine
The singer longs for an environment where their dreams would flourish freely and be realized

I wish I was a little bit more than now
The artist is yearning to be a better or improved version of themselves

cause then maybe I - oh I can reach the stars
The artist believes that if they were better or improved, they would be able to accomplish their goals and dreams admirably, just as reaching for the stars is an emblematic gesture of aspiring for greatness.

cause life is passing by
The singer is emphasizing the transciency of life, and therefore, the urgency of fulfilling their dreams and aspirations

and it's leaving me behind
The singer is acknowledging that time is moving on, and he/she is yet to realize their dreams, thereby being left behind in a way

tonight.
This line is just a poetic end to the first stanza

I travel far travel wide
The artist has ventured far and wide in search of experiencing their dreams

cause in times I know you will realize
The meaning of this line is unclear since it is grammatically incorrect. However, it might mean that the artist believes that one day, they will recognize that they were right in pursuing their dreams.

the things you do the things you said
This line is difficult to interpret, and it is unclear what the singer is referring to precisely.

where you brake my heart don't leave me now - I brake
Again, this line is unclear, but it might suggest that the artist was hurt in the past when they were abandoned, and they do not want their dreams to do the same.

if you let me go - I'll go
The singer is saying that if they are released from certain situations that are preventing them from fulfilling their dreams, they would immediately leave

if you're holding on - how do I learn to fly
The singer is saying that they need the freedom to explore and accomplish their dreams even though they might not have the required skills at the moment to do so

I'll be somewhere far away
The singer is ready to go anywhere that offers opportunities to realize their dreams

yeah
This word is added to add emphasis and enthusiasm to the last line

I'll be somewhere far away
The artist is restating their desire to go anywhere in the world where they can nurture and realize their dreams.

I'll be somewhere far away
Again, the singer reiterates their desire to go as far as they can to accomplish their aspirations and dreams.

I'll be somewhere far away
The last line is a conclusion to the song, suggesting that the singer will continue their pursuit of their dreams, no matter the distance they need to travel

yeaheah woah no ...
This line does not have a particular meaning as it is just a vocable musical interlude or phrase.

woaho go oh ohh
This line also does not have a clear message; it is most likely another interlude in the song.
