[Verse 1]
Saw a fight break on the bus, so
I jumped right out
Wish I said something, but
It takes too much time to talk to strangers now
I slip on some ice
[Pre-Chorus]
And I start running
Like somebody's watching me (Ayy-yeah)
Hood up, covering up my sleeves
Take a left on your street, unconsciously
New York City November always gets to me
[Chorus]
And I thought that I could run away
And I almost thought I would feel the same
Now everybody has your face
And I'm tracing graffiti with your name
Yeah, I'd wait for you all night
Just to know that you're alright
[Verse 2]
Thought I saw you on the corner
I took a sip and smoked
Almost said something out loud
I'm counting all the times I let a good thing go
Through the wet in my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'd start running
Wishing I was under you
Feel the air from the subway
Like your breath, brand new
Take a left on your street
Tripping over my feet
New York City and you get the best of me
[Chorus]
And I thought that I could run away
And I almost thought I would feel the same
Now everybody has your face
And I'm tracing graffiti with your name
Yeah, I'd wait for you all night
Just to know that you're alright
[Bridge]
I'm skipping every crack in the concrete
I'm tripping over ghosts and they got your face
Now everywhere I go, you haunt me
The writing on the wall is just graffiti with your name
[Chorus]
And I thought that I could run away
And I almost thought I would feel the same
Now everybody has your face
And I'm tracing graffiti with your name
Yeah, I'd wait for you all night
Just to know that you're alright
[Outro]
Yeah, I'd wait for you all night
Just to know that you're alright
