Next Time in New York

[Verse 1]
One block out of Tompkins Square
And two blocks where Astor Place ends
This coffee shop employee looks just like Erlend Øye
And someday we could probably be friends
Sometimes there's a grander design
I'll leave with no discernible end
Flying back and forth from the driftless north
Until I see you somewhere again

[Verse 2]
Freeze frame from the subway train
And marvel at the scale of it all
At Bushwick Inlet Park
The sky growing dark
I'll be somewhere еlse in the fall
Some songs might hеlp you along
In trying times of rapid decline
The autobiographic way to get through the day
And tell you that I need you in mine

[Chorus]
Browsing floors inside a crowded store
I know we can't afford
Next time in New York
We've seen it all before
I'd do it again
Love like yours, it leaves me out of sorts
And I need nothing more
Next time in New York
We've seen it all before
The view at the end

[Chorus]
Browsing floors inside a crowded store
I know we can't afford
Next time in New York
We've seen it all before
I'd do it again
Love like yours, it leaves me out of sorts
And I need nothing more
Next time in New York
