[Verse 1]
I wanted to hurt you like you hurt me
But in order to
You would have to love me like I love you
And I don't think you do
No I don't think you do

[PreChorus 1]
Cause you were always on your own coast
Yeah you were always in your own timezone

[Chorus 1]
I was so New York
You were so LA
Maybe that’s why it never worked baby
I was so sleepless
Overcast always
You don’t know the meaning of a cloudy day
Yeah I was so New York
And you were so LA

[Verse 2]
I gotta admit it, I was distant
I was distant too
I quietly drifted to a different Ocean Avenue
A world away from you

[PreChorus 2]
Yeah I was always on my own coast
Yeah I was always in my own timezone

[Chorus 2]
I was so New York
You were so LA
Somewhere I can visit but I just can’t stay
You’ll be on sunset
I’ll be on the subway
Wishing that the angels would have looked my way
Wishing every stranger didn’t have your face
Cause I was so New York
And you were so LA

[Bridge]
You made my heart beat faster
You were my nervous laughter
You were my ever after
Back in the day
I wanted you forever
You wanted warmer weather
I know it suits you better
There anyway

[Outro]
Cause you were so LA
Always on vacay
A little more your pace
It’s just a different taste
