LYRICS
I've just had the craziest week,
Like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit.
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud,
It's therapeutic somehow.
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep,
And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve.
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep,
Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me.
I put one foot forward and ended up thirty yards back.
And am I losing touch or am I just completely off the track?
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud,
It's therapeutic somehow.
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep,
And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve.
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep,
Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me.
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep,
And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve.
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep,
Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me

[@itsalwaysoniontime]

You have songs like bloody despacito getting billions of views, yet this song has a fraction of that. Despite being the better song, so much better.

[@zizimugen4470]

Quality over quantity. They don’t seem to follow that rule either, but a few of them are artistically and cleverly made. God the suspense at the end of the video for “this car drives all by itself,” on top of its toy car premise, was brilliantly executed for that segment of the music. Perfect match for what my synesthesia shows me.

[@zizimugen4470]

This song was spoiled so hard for me, I literally couldn't listen to it for five years. I worked as a barista at an upscale place, and this hipster girl who's the worst example of the definition, was telling her friends about her trip to New York. And she just had to tell them about New York. "New York is just the best place I've ever been! New York's culture is so fascinating, you really have to act like you're from New York when you're in New York, hahahahaa, I need to go back to New York again, I absolutely looove New York! Catching a taxi in New York was so fun, I reached up, 'Taxiiii!' *falsetto voice*" I am NOT exaggerating. I went to the patio to collect some dishes, and when I came in, she was still saying "New York" at least twice per sentence! When I got to the kitchen, I told the cook about this girl, whom he apparently had a slight crush on. I warned her how annoying she is. Thinking I was exaggerating, he wanted to test it. I told him to walk by the table and get the dishes that are still on the patio. Keeping the door open for 30 seconds so he could walk back in, he returned with a look of disgust on his face. I'm good now, I can listen to this, but no more than once a week. It's progress, but gaaaaaaaah!
