New York Minute

[Verse 1]
Lower Madison Avenue is where I first laid eyes on you
And I still remember your jacket, Red Riding Hood in Manhattan
You took a job in L. A., you were only here for two more days
And somehow 48 hours later, we're fighting back tears at JFK

[Bridge]
But I won’t stop you so I walk you to your gate
Check your bags in, did I see you hesitate?
Have a safe flight, oh I hope it gets delayed

[Chorus]
But when the wheels left the runway I couldn't help but laugh
I'll come and visit someday ’cause you came and went too fast
That's the thing about a New York minute, there's just no getting it back
That's the thing about a New York minute, there's just no getting it back

[Verse 2]
It's not like we can't keep in touch but different time zones make it tough
I'll send you messages about stupid shit that only you and I would get, yeah
Maybe I’ll come surprise you, but maybe that’s too much? I wonder what you're thinking and is it about us?
We only had a weekend but I can’t help but feel like I know you, need you, miss you

[Chorus]
But when the wheels left the runway I couldn't help but laugh
I'll come and visit someday 'cause you came and went too fast
That’s the thing about a New York minute, there's just no getting it back
That's the thing about a New York minute, there's just no getting it back

[Chorus]
But when the wheels left the runway I couldn't help but laugh
I'll come and visit someday 'cause you came and went too fast
That's the thing about a New York minute, there's just no getting it back
That's the thing about a New York minute, there's just no getting it back
