Cover art for NYC lyrics by Snow Patrol

How clever Snow Patrol are to make a 20-worded song make you feel so different after the very first listen. the whole song is so abstract and could apply to anyone at any time about so many things. to me, i think he's asking for confirmaton on his relationship, obviously- 'is this on' but then he starts on about he could take her anywhere but he doesn't know how to get there which could mean that she's too high maintenace for him, possibly? oh, i don't really know but it's a great song anyway.

Hmm.

I'm too literal and too sexually oriented. But I see this as sex. (Again.)

"Is this on?" Meaning: Am I in a state of being "on," or rather "turned on?"

"I am so, too." That's her response! She is "so" too. "So" meaning "in a similar state as." Such as "It shall be so."

"i could take you there but i don't know how to get there" Is when they come (pun intended) together. He could take her "there" (hehe) but he doesn't know...
