New York Lyrics
"Well look into the future," says the New York Times,
"this year you are released from trying to strike matches in the wind."
Still, I remember everything:
Your voice that night -- alive at 6 AM -- when all I'd broke were promises.
So let the rain fall, I kind of want it to.
See what we're made of? Now that everything is new.
It was a slow death, not much dignity.
So let the rain fall and if we drown, it's happily.
I died while I was dreaming,
For a second I stopped breathing and I woke up on the quiet side of town.
Didn't sleep that year at all.
A haze of cigarettes and alcohol, this dust had settled in my eyes.
Still, I remember everying:
Your voice that night -- alive at 6 AM -- when I had made new promises.
So let the rain fall, I kind of want it to.
See what we're made of? Now that everything is new.
It was a slow death, not much dignity.
So let the rain fall and if we drown, it's happily.
Oh, let the rain fall! I kind of want it to.
See what we're made of? Now that everything is new.
It was a slow death, not much dignity.
So let the rain fall and if we drown, it's happily.
..and if we drown, it's happily.
..and if we drown, it's happily.
"this year you are released from trying to strike matches in the wind."
Your voice that night -- alive at 6 AM -- when all I'd broke were promises.
See what we're made of? Now that everything is new.
It was a slow death, not much dignity.
So let the rain fall and if we drown, it's happily.
For a second I stopped breathing and I woke up on the quiet side of town.
Didn't sleep that year at all.
A haze of cigarettes and alcohol, this dust had settled in my eyes.
Your voice that night -- alive at 6 AM -- when I had made new promises.
See what we're made of? Now that everything is new.
It was a slow death, not much dignity.
So let the rain fall and if we drown, it's happily.
See what we're made of? Now that everything is new.
It was a slow death, not much dignity.
So let the rain fall and if we drown, it's happily.
..and if we drown, it's happily.
..and if we drown, it's happily.

I really like this song. I discovered it at a point in my life when I was feeling like my future was pretty shitty, but I simultaneously wanted it to be difficult just to give me a break from the mundane comfort of life I'd known.
I listened to this song a lot, and it made me feel somehow powerfully powerless. Like I was in control of the chaos. It helped me make sense of my uncertain future.
If I drown, it's happily.
