Kristin Hoffmann - New York City lyrics

New York City takes me over In these nights when I'm alone Café corners, hung with strangers Gulping down a bitter soul Wouldn't mind the peace of going back home And meeting a knowing smile Where Sunday tastes of confession booth sins And Monday comes with new denial I am pretty good at nothing When I think that I'm a star Flying ego over mountains Spacious skies of who we are Wouldn't mind the peace of rewinding the time Give me blank paper and pen I'd feel ease in calling you mine But then I'd know it's just pretend Gotta find a better space Where I recognize my face I begin to cry Emotions churning Gotta find some peace of mind Somewhere in between these lines 'Cause I begin to die when my fire's burning Ocean turning New York City, I'm uncertain Think I lost round Chelsea Town Café corner, I'm a stranger Hold me close and take me down
