lyrics

New York City are you doing alright?
Do you take your pills?
Do you get some sleep at night?
Can your mind stay still?

I know you've gotta feel two ways, like a window in the cold
I'm sorry that I laughed so hard, when you said we're getting old

Where'd you go when you arrived?
And was I at the bar?
Do you let your demons drive?
Did my dog catch the car?

I know we haven't spoken much, or at least said things out loud
It's been easy staying sober since, because I wanna make you mad and proud

Was it ever all that bad?
Or maybe just not good?
Did we do things well, not wise?
Because we could, not should?

He lost her in a lucid spell he was trying to preserve
Now they're standing on the salt flats, babe, disappearing at the edge of the earth

And into the view
View
And into the view
View

New York City are you doing alright?
Do you take your pills?
