I Dreamt Of New York Lyrics

I get one life
I get to fill it with stuff
And now I think what I want to do is to fill it to the top
I had all these plans and stuff
I thought would be good
But now it all looks so tiny
Now I've come across you

Yeah, you squeeze in and crush the image of New York
A fuzzy sketch of me flying a plane goes zooming off
I dreamt I'd swing from a bungee cord
Or travel the whole wide world
But now I'm completely sure you're what I'm living for

You've got your life
And you are filling it up
And now I wonder if I could be the
Kind of thing you might want
So now that my way is up
As I'm working through
I'm completely off track, distracted
I only spend time on you

Yeah, you squeeze in and crush the image of New York
A fuzzy sketch of me flying a plane goes zooming off
I dreamt I'd swing from a bungee cord
Or travel the whole wide world
But now I'm completely sure you're what I'm living for
I dreamt I'd swing from a bungee cord
Or travel the whole wide world
But now I'm completely sure you're what I'm living for

Grab Me By The Collar

I get one life
I get to fill it with stuff
And now I think what I want to do is to fill it to the top
I had all these plans and stuff
I thought would be good
But now it all looks so tiny
Now I've come across you

Yeah, you squeeze in and crush the image of New York
A fuzzy sketch of me flying a plane goes zooming off
I dreamt I'd swing from a bungee cord
Or travel the whole wide world
But now I'm completely sure you're what I'm living for

You've got your life
And you are filling it up
And now I wonder if I could be the
Kind of thing you might want
So now that my way is up
As I'm working through
I'm completely off track, distracted
I only spend time on you

Yeah, you squeeze in and crush the image of New York
A fuzzy sketch of me flying a plane goes zooming off
I dreamt I'd swing from a bungee cord
Or travel the whole wide world
But now I'm completely sure you're what I'm living for
I dreamt I'd swing from a bungee cord
Or travel the whole wide world
But now I'm completely sure you're what I'm living for

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
