Lyrics[Verse 1]
New York surprise me
21 and I need something
To pick me up out of
The company I run with
Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been

[Pre-Chorus]
I must admit I think I lost my way a bit
Cause six days in I swear I lost my baby
But then I wrote two tunes that
[Chorus]
Dragged me out from nowhere
Paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever it took to keep you off my mind

[Verse 2]
New York surprise me
22 and I need something
To keep me inside of
The company I run with
Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been
(Yeah, we discussed how love has been)

[Pre-Chorus - Variation]
I must admit I've been known to lose my way a bit
Cause six days in, I swear I lost my patience
But then I wrote two tunes that

[Chorus]
Dragged me out from nowhere
Paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever it took to keep you off my mind

Dragged me out from nowhere
Paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever it took to keep you off my mindYou might also like
