Hey guys this is Harry, just wanted to provide some backstory to this song. I wrote this song for my senior prom because my band was playing and I wanted a song that people could slow dance to.

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I heard it’s cold in New York
So bring your coat
Cherry, your body
I’ll cherish every word that chokes up in your throat
[Verse 2]
Baby, you look like diamond skies
Your collarbone’s Orion’s Belt
I’ll think of this night
When I’m missing California down in Chinatown
[Chorus 1]
And I wonder if you still think of me at all
You were never one to think much
You’re swimmin' in his t-shirt
And I’m still swimmin' in your touch
Though you’re with another guy
Having the time of your life
I’ll keep this prom night in my mind
So we dance when I close my eyes
[Verse 3]
Can you feel it inside your bones?
Can you hear mine break through the phone?
You stroll the streets like a ghost, hiding in that overcoat
I should have never told you it’s cold in New York
[Chorus 2]
And I wonder if you still think of me at all
You were never one to think much
You’re swimmin' in his t-shirt
And I’m still swimmin' in your touch
I know I need to let go
I’m holding onto the west coast
Baby, I’m cursed by the sea
And California’s hauntin' me
[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ooh, ooh
