lyrics

it’s hard to say no (in new york city)

it’s hard to explain that it hurts
that pain in my heart’s just a stain on my shirt
today i ate my lunch alone, i saw a bunch of clones
i wanted to see faces, put away your fuckin phone!

last night i went on a date with a girl,
woke up hungover .. hating the world
but whenever i’m havin a rough day
i find a book and ride the subway

or i walk around aimlessly,
looking for people doin the exact same as me
something weird just happened .. that’s what i came to see,
i sat in the grass so long i became a tree

found a peaceful spot to people watch
then ended up drink in a pizza shop
but i’ll take what i get, it’s a success if make it though a summer day without breakin a sweat

IT’S HARD TO SAY NO IN NEW YORK CITY
WITH ALL THIS YAYO IN NEW YORK CITY
BUT THERES SO MANY OTHER WAYS TO PLAY IN NEW YORK CITY
SO FOR NOW IM GONNA STAY IN NEW YORK CITY

who’s gonna cry when i leave?
i’d rather be narcissistic than naive
i almost avoided Benji’s funeral,
but i’m glad i didn’t because that shit was beautiful

when i was readin and eatin green eggs n ham
i never thought i become the man that i am
now i drink coffee, still sing off key
and pretend i’m Bing Crosby

in between the cigarettes i’m ashin
i still find time to imagine
i should stop complaining and start rappin
instead of doodlin on bar napkins

big cities are made up of small towns
no one smiles at you but they help you if you fall down
ten years from now i’ll be thirty five,
still hangin out in diners and drinkin whiskey in dirty dives

IT’S HARD TO SAY NO IN NEW YORK CITY
WITH ALL THIS YAYO IN NEW YORK CITY
BUT THERES SO MANY OTHER WAYS TO PLAY IN NEW YORK CITY
SO FOR NOW IM GONNA STAY IN NEW YORK CITY
