[VERSE 1]
When I’m looking up on avenue five
I wonder when I'll say my goodbyes
Why the internet says LA is fine
But all the heat makes me go blind

[PRE-Chorus]
I promised to stay
When I was seventeen
Tossing back amphetamines
I always would pray
That every old routine
Would break the second we convened

[Chorus]
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York

[VERSE 2]
You’re the only antidote to my life
Not another day without your skyline
All the Angeles been under the knife
I’d do anything to see through your eyes
[PRE-Chorus]
I promised to stay
When I was seventeen
Tossing back amphetamines
I always would pray
That every old routine
Would break the second we convened

[Chorus]
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York

[BRIDGE]
I can’t go any further without you
My sweet my sweet apple of my eye
I want your stinky streets in my memories
The holiday lights always on

[Chorus]
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
Take me back to New York
