In the time before Nick Rattigan moved to New York City, presumably when he was younger, he believed he would fit right in, but upon moving there permanently, the feeling of isolation and loneliness he felt in his prior home trailed him to his new one.
[Verse 1]
I never thought that I'd be here
I never thought I'd have short hair
I never grow up in my head
Although my heart and soul are dead
[Chorus]
'Cause in my mind
I'm alone
In my mind
I belong
In New York City
In New York City
In New York City
In New York City
In New York
[Verse 2]
I want to cry in your hands
I want to die in your hands
Because I hate what I've become
Oh, I guess that I'll just run
[Chorus]
'Cause in my mind
I'm alone
In my mind
I belong
In New York City
In New York City
In New York City
In New York City
In New York
