Leaving New York Lyrics by Victory Kid

Thrillenials

2018

[Verse 1]
You know the winds are changing
(The winds are changing)
Feel it in the air
Red leaves start to fall
Can't believe how long
I've lived here
(I've lived here)
But now I think it's over
(I think it's over)
This life has come to an end
I've wanted this for so long
Now that it's here, I can't imagine it
[Pre-Chorus]
With my head spinning like I
Woke up in a dream
(Woke up in a dream)
It seemed that I was asleep
But this is happening
[Chorus]
I'm leaving New York
I've had my fill
Can't say I won't miss it
I know I will
(Nothing's clean but)
I'm headed home to Cali
(Summerland is on my mind)
Not San Francisco but close
(Back of angel wings to fly)
Want to see what L.A. can give me
(Sunfilled days and quiet nights)
So far it's given me home
(Now it's time to go)
I'm leaving New York
[Verse 2]
So cue in the montage
Of getting ready to go
Long nostalgic walks through
East River Park
And these streets I called home
(These streets I called home)
Saying goodbye to strangers
Some that I once called friends
But mostly I will miss her
Growing up, I'm only leaving them
[Pre-Chorus]
Head spinning like I
Woke up in a dream
(Woke up in a dream)
Though I was asleep
But this is happening
[Chorus]
I'm leaving New York
I've had my fill
Can't say I won't miss it
I know I will
(Nothing's clean but)
I'm headed home to Cali
(Summerland is on my mind)
Not San Francisco but close
(Back of angel wings to fly)
Want to see what L.A. can give me
(Sunfilled days and quiet nights)
So far it's given me home
(Now it's time to go)
(I'm leaving New York)
[Bridge]
But I'll miss the autumn
Probably even the snow
I really like walking
(I really like walking)
Where I needed to go
Not it's time for sun
Let me skin drink the light
Not sure if it's a good choice
(If it's a good choice)
I just know it feels right
[Chorus]
That I'm leaving New York
(No more subways I can drive)
I've had my fill
(No more towers touch the sky)
Can't say I won't miss it
(City streets made to excite)
I know I will
(Nothing's clean but)
I'm headed home to Cali
(Summerland is on my mind)
Not San Francisco but close
(Back of angel wings to fly)
Want to see what L.A. can give me
(Sunfilled days and quiet nights)
So far it's given me home
(Now it's time to go)
I'm leaving New York
Well, I'm leaving New York
[Outro]
Goodbye, New York
