NYC Lyrics by Eric Armitage

2020

[Verse 1 - Eric Armitage]
I’m not the big city lights or the taxi cabs
I’m not the crazy nights or the traffic jams
I am not your plane ticket out to LAX, but
I’ma do my best, yeah, I’ll be right there, yeah
I’ll be right there, yeah - yes, girl, I swear, yeah
I’ma keep my cool - cooler than the night air, yeah
We be like them all-white Vans you never wanna wear
I got your mama thinkin’ we could make a nice pair, yeah
And I hope it all won’t stop
Like the bustle on these blocks
Just look at all these shops
This feels like a vacay spot
How much do it cost? a lot
But look at this room we got, yeah
Elevator to the top

[Hook - Benzo]
Take me to the rooftop
Will I see the world if I stop dreaming
Do dreams come true
When I’m with you
Take me to the rooftop
Will I see the world if I stop dreaming
Look at that view
Ain't she pretty

[Verse 2 - Eric Armitage]
It’s a picture perfect moment, pop that lens cap off
We can spend some time no matter how much that cost
I like the way that you talkin’ when you talkin’ to me
And I like the way you really wear your heart on your sleeve
Oh yeah, you can keep my sweatshirt
Your earrings sit on my dresser
I’m goin’ in and that’s head first, no effort and no pressure
You fall apart and we’ll laugh it off and I’ll put you back together
It’s a middle finger to your last guys, wave now as they pass by
We stay up late and do nothing, I’ve got bags under my damn eyes
But it’s cool when it’s you and me
Pretend it’s a penthouse suite
You keep me up all night
In the city that never sleeps

[Hook - Benzo]
Take me to the rooftop
Will I see the world if I stop dreaming
Do dreams come true
When I’m with you
Take me to the rooftop
Will I see the world if I stop dreaming
Look at that view
Ain't she pretty
