New York Songtext
von Christie Chirinos

The world is out there
And I am here

Playing young wife to a boy, don′t know better
I could go north but I'm scared of the weather
His mother said that my songs wouldn′t pay
She meant well
She always means well

We both work hard to do fun things together
We've been together so long, we're not married
I got a job to help pay for the wedding
But he makes more
He always makes more

I like his friends and they like me just fine
Lucky I like all the bands that they like
Arthur is bright and Justin is wild
And they′re handsome
So very handsome


The world is out there
And I am here
Today

He is my rock
The one that I love
So I′ll take this pill and I'll feel so much better
Everyone knows we′ll be happy forever
And wearing the jeans that I fit into then
Is not realistic anyway

The world is out there
The world is out there
The world is out there

So I'm burning it down, burn it all to the ground
I′ll sleep in a room in the bad part of town
I'll kiss girls on the roof, in the pool, on the pavement
And I′ll take mystery powders in a Chinatown basement
And I'll fly to Marrakech with the credit he hates
Turns out rich men throw soirees on Bastille Day
And there's a bar on 3rd street that stays open ′til seven
Arthur will ask me to please never tell him
The night before my flight to New York
