D-Why - New York Times lyrics

[Verse 1] I met the girl of my dreams in a coffee shop last week Somewhere on the Lower East Side She walked in the door with her dog and a friend Who was lost in the New York Times I am pacing back and forth feeling nervous Accidentally spilled my coffee on purpose Hoping she'd notice, she turned away Paid the cashier, have a nice day I'm waiting for the train, I'm watching the people So busy as they all walk by The doors they slide open, it's hot and it's crowded Living in these New York Times I am not to be bothered by no one Put on my headphones to drown the commotion But a fight breaks out right in front of me Get off at the next stop before they try to run on me [Hook] I look for love everywhere I go I've been asking why is the world so cold? Been tempted twice, will I sell my soul? I keep asking why is the world so cold? So cold, so cold, is the world so cold? So cold, so cold, is the world so cold? [Verse 2] I'm Hollywood bound with a dollar and lint In my pocket, but I'm doing fine Meeting at two, but I'll probably be late Cause I'm still stuck on New York time Then I get stuck in traffic for an hour Wise man told me, "patience is power" But he probably wasn't stuck in traffic, was he? It's crazy how the 405 is ugly Now I'm lost in a small town somewhere outside Phoenix Decided to go for a drive This place looks Brooklyn, I'm loving it here And I'm having a New York Time Except I can really see the stars right above me No pollution, nothing but me Suddenly the city lights flash Then I'm right back, just like that [Hook] [Verse 3] Left to die, lived to tell Summer's gone, wish you well But I don't know where I'm driving to, driving crazy Driving Miss Daisy 'til I'm pushing up daises It may be that the woman I met who told me never forget Was the same one who left and made me live with this regret No talking now, I'm walking now, just put me in a coffin now Throw me in the ground, I hope they miss when I'm not around But I'll be fine, cause in due time, I'll start to climb And reach my prime, then walk the line, I free my mind sometimes When you least want it, that's when life will throw you the signs Cause if love is what you're looking for, it's love you'll never find [Hook]
