Micky Skeel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember I told everyone I knew,
we're not gonna work,
if this was meant to be it would have been,
but now I see different side of you,
and everything's a blur,
I tried to tell myself not to give in,
PRE-CHORUS
We drank a little too much,
thats how it always starts,
honesty gets easier,
and this time,
you cancelled on your date,
to hang around with me,
at karaoke bars to sing,
CHORUS
You were my best friend,
but something happened,
like I didn't really see you,
until that night in New York City,
feeling like 18,
high on a daydream,
can't believe I didn't see it,
until that night in New York City,
i will never forget the morning,
we woke up in the same bed,
VERSE 2
Acting like a couple for a couple' days,
started holding hands,
riding round the subway with no end,
and I thought this can only go two ways,
but we should take that chance,
and I have never looked back ever since,
I'm glad how,
PRE-CHORUS
We drank a little too much,
thats how it always starts,
honesty gets easier,
and this time,
you cancelled on your date,
to hang around with me,
at karaoke bars to sing,
CHORUS
You were my best friend,
but something happened,
like I didn't really see you,
until that night in New York City,
feeling like 18,
high on a daydream,
can't believe I didn't see it,
until that night in New York City,
i will never forget the morning,
we woke up in the same bed,
In "New York City" by Micky Skeel, the lyrics tell a story of discovering a different side of someone and experiencing a transformative moment in the city. The first verse sets the stage by expressing initial doubts about the compatibility of the relationship. The singer believed that if it was meant to be, it would have happened naturally. However, their perspective changes when they witness a different side of the person they thought they knew. The lyrics express a sense of confusion and uncertainty, as everything becomes a blur.
The pre-chorus highlights the influence of alcohol in the unfolding events. The couple drinks a little too much, a common catalyst for candid conversations and heightened emotions. This led to a turning point in their relationship, as the person cancels their date to spend time with the singer at karaoke bars in New York City. The lyrics suggest that this unusual decision opens the singer's eyes to a new perception of their best friend.
The chorus emphasizes the profound impact this night in New York City has on the singer. Previously, they hadn't fully seen or understood their best friend. The experience makes the singer feel like a carefree eighteen-year-old, caught up in the excitement of a daydream. The lyrics create a sense of disbelief that the signs weren't noticed earlier. The morning after, waking up in the same bed, becomes an unforgettable moment that solidifies the shift in their relationship.
In the second verse, the lyrics delve into the aftermath of the transformative night. The couple begins to act like a couple, holding hands and exploring the city without any set destination. The singer recognizes that this situation can only go in two directions and decides to take the chance. From that point on, they never look back, grateful for the decision they made.
Similar to the first verse, the pre-chorus reiterates the role of alcohol in facilitating honesty and emotional openness. The person again cancels their plans to be with the singer at karaoke bars, emphasizing the bond they share and the continued transformation of their friendship.
Overall, "New York City" portrays a story of friendship evolving into something deeper and more significant. The lyrics highlight the power of unexpected experiences and the revelation of a different side to someone, set against the backdrop of the vibrant city of New York.

Acting like a couple for a couple' days
Behaving as if we were in a romantic relationship for a few days
started holding hands
We began to grip each other's hands
riding round the subway with no end
Traveling aimlessly on the subway with no destination
and I thought this can only go two ways
and I considered that only two possibilities existed
but we should take that chance
but we should seize that opportunity
and I have never looked back ever since
and since then, I have never regretted my decision
