New York surprise me
21 and I need something
To pick me up out of
The company I run with
Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been

I must admit I think I lost my way a bit
Cause 6 days in I swear I lost my baby
But then I wrote two tunes that

Dragged me out from nowhere
Paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever I took to keep you off my mind

New York surprise me
22 and I need something
To keep me inside of
This company I run with
Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been

I must admit I've been known to lose my way a bit
And 6 days in is where I lost my patience
But then I wrote two tunes that

Dragged me out from nowhere
Paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever I took to keep you off my mind
