Superfruit Lyrics

Welcome to New York
This song is a welcoming to New York; a city where anyone can find magical experiences and feel at home.

It's been waiting for you
The feeling that the city welcomes individuals, and they belong here. The city presents many experiences that are magical and blissful.

Nice to meet you, where you been?
This is an opening line for a conversation with someone the singer has recently met.

I can show you incredible things
The artist wants to show this person many magical experiences New York City has to offer.

Magic, madness, heaven, sin
The city of New York encompasses many experiences from blissful to challenging.

Saw you there and i thought...Oh my god
The singer was excited after spotting the person and excited to become his/her friend while experiencing fantastic things.

Lets's be friends
The singer wants to create a friendship with the person he/she has just met.

I'm dying to see how this one ends
The artist is excited to see what will happen as their friendship evolves and they explore the city together.

Grab your passport in my hand
The singer wants his/her friend to be ready to go and explore a new world of experiences.

I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
The artist believes that he/she can turn around different situations in New York, and make them all great by having a lovely weekend experience with his/her friend.

So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
The possibility to have an everlasting friendship or to end it in flames without any possibility of fixing it.

You can tell me when it's over
The artist is open to re-consider any decision, regardless of how their friendship ends.

If the high was worth the pain
They will re-evaluate whether the highs and emotions experienced together are worth the subsequent lows and negative consequences.

Got a long list of ex-lovers / They'll tell you I'm insane / But i got a blank space baby / And I'll write your name
The singer has had many previous relationships, and all their ex-lovers have concluded that he/she is irrational. However, in this case, the singer has a blank space and is free to make a judgment about the new friend and write his/her name instead.

James Dean day dream look in your eyes
The person who the singer talks about looks exactly like the late British actor, James Dean.

I got that red lip classic thing that you like
The singer has an established sense of style that the new friend will admire.

Cause we never go out of style
The feeling that the artist and his/her new friend have a classic bond that will never go out of fashion.

Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet / Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet good
Using 'out of the woods' reference, the singer wonders whether they are still facing any hardships and that their connection remains solid.

(Stay) Hey all you had to do was... (Stay) Hey had me with the palm of your hand / Well could've been easy / Oh all you had to do was...
The singer regrets giving up too soon and wishing they had stayed with the then lover.

I stay up too late / Got nothing in my brain /Well that's what people say / That's what people say
The artist knows that some people would view their choices as eccentric, and that people usually make comments that they are nonsensical and pointless.

Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play / And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate / Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake / Shake it off! / I shake it off!
The singer is saying to ignore the critics and just let anything that bothers you go, delightfully dancing and avoiding negativity.

I wish you would come back / Wish i'd never hung up the phone like I did and / I wish you'd know that I'll never forget you as long as I live and / I wish you were right here, right now, it's all good, I wish you would
The artist is nostalgic and wishes their ex would return to them as they previously ended the relationship with a phone call. The artist has both fond and melancholic feelings for the ex, but would like to see them back together.

Cause baby now we got bad blood / You know it used to be mad love / So take a look what you've done / Cause baby now we got bad blood
The singer says that some issues arose from the relationship, which resulted in the friendship being sour, and blood now being deemed terrible, whereas previously, it was fun.

Say you'll remember me / Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe / Red lips and rosy cheeks / Say you'll see me again / Even if it's just in your / Wildest dreams (I want you for worse or for better)
Under the golden hour, the artist wants the new friend to remember them at that moment, even if they don't stay in touch. Accepting the pain and the good times, the artist wants to continue the friendship.

This love is good, this love is bad / This love is alive back from the dead
This type of relationship the singer has with anyone is mercurial; it has its ups and downs, times when it seems to die, but then revives, differing daily.

You stand with a hand on my waist line / Good to see that we're out here in plain sight / I can hear them whisper as we pass by / It's a bad sign
The singer identifies the fact that his/her relationship with the new friend is evident to outsiders, as people pass discreet comments regarding the couple, which can be interpreted negatively.

Rain came pouring down / When i was drowning that's when i could finally breathe (Take me home)
The burdens have been released, and the singer can finally reunite with the lover, despite any previous hardships and barriers.

I got a blank space baby (I've been waiting for you) and I'll write your name
The artist has a new blank slate ready to be filled with memories and experiences only with this new friend.

Welcome to New York (welcome to New York) / It's (I've) been waiting for you / Welcome to New York / Welcome to New York!
The artist welcomes visitors to New York and anticipates enjoyable, unforgettable experiences in the city.
