New York I've become so lovesick
Missing everything about you
You took my breath away
At Grand Central Station
Chelsea, Coney Island, and Brooklyn
Still have pieces of my heart
The random subway shows
The collective energy of people
That buzzes a swirls down
Each and every city block
The thought of the musicians
The amazing poets
The aspiring artists
Who once stood
Where I know stand
Make my knees weak
And my heart flutter
I can see the history
Hear the untold stories
Seeping out of every building
You have so much to say
I breathe electric
With each and every step
Hungry to take you all in
Cathedrals, parks, rooftop sunsets
I could live here my whole life
And never know all of you
I long to return
To soak you in
Once again.
