I HEART NY

(chorus)
I grew up in an apartment on the west side
taught to never feel
always residing on the outside
i was made to grow up and be famous
so i'm trying my best to stay shameless
can't take this change of season
i'm sick to my stomach for no reason
but i guess that's part of the deal
i guess thats what makes me real
(verse 1)
waking up to car alarms, coffee shops, and nail salons
i take a ride on the subway or my bicycle downtown
coney island stoned
i was afraid to ride the cyclone
the blackouts fade into fresh lemonade and late night serenades
i'm singing
I grew up in an apartment on the west side
taught to never feel
always residing on the outside
i was made to grow up and be famous
so i'm trying my best to stay shameless
can't take this change of season
i'm sick to my stomach for no reason
but i guess that's part of the deal
i guess thats what makes me real
(verse 2)
walking through the park at dawn
new york times and candy bars
i take a ride on the subway when my bicycle breaks down
nothing ever changes just the same old summer faces
the days are long so we hold on
cause the feelings just wont last
(bridge)
late nights early mornings
smoking cigarettes in coney island the subways burning
street lights golden summers
throwing empty bottles off the roof in the rain and thunder
I grew up in an apartment on the west side
taught to never feel
always residing on the outside
i was made to grow up and be famous
so i'm trying my best to stay shameless
can't take this change of season
i'm sick to my stomach for no reason
but i guess that's part of the deal
i guess thats what makes me real
