New York
Urban Cone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me that you turned down the man
Who asked for your hand
'Cause you're waiting for me
And I know, you're gonna be away a while
But I've got no plans at all to leave

And would you take away my hopes and dreams and just stay with me?
All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll never leave again
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one

Take my hand and my
Heart and soul, I will
Only have these eyes for you
And you know, everything changes but
We'll be strangers if we see this through
You could stay within these walls and bleed
Or just stay with me
Oh lord, now

All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one

I'm stumbling off drunk, getting myself lost
I am so gone, so tell me the way home
I listen to sad songs, singing about love
And where it goes wrong

All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide




Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one

Lyrics~🤟🏽
I've only been here once before
Please don't be different
If I could visit you some more
I would be different
Cause all these streets, they make me high
They make me different
And all you people make me shy
Cause you are different

Please don't be different
Please don't be different

They call it New...
New York city
They call it New...
New York city

I wish that I could take you there
Wish you could listen
I'll show you everything I know
Wish you could listen
Cause all these streets, they make me high
They'll make you listen
I hope we'll make it out alive
Wish you could listen

Oh baby, listen
Oh baby, listen

They call it New...
New York city
They call it New...
New York city

I really hate to say goodbye
I'm sorry that I let you down
I know I said I'd make it right
But baby I can't leave this town
I really hate to say goodbye
I'm sorry that I let you down
I know I said I'd make it right
But baby I can't leave this town

They call it New...
New York city
They call it New...
New York city

They call it New...
New York city
They call it New...
New York city

I remember playing this song as I flew into NYC for the first time. I flew in at night so the whole city was lit up at it was so magical. I never imagined myself ever loving or even liking such a big city but there is just something so magical about NYC. Even though I was only there on vacation for a couple days I fell in love with what I can only describe as the rhythm and magic of the city. Thank you for capturing that feeling and putting it into a song!
