lyrics

I’ve been faking all the smiles and well wishes
The truth is I was totally destroying it
In the back seat of your car to the lawn in your front yard
I have looked hard enough for any chance you loved me

So here’s your sweatshirt, I’m giving it back
I know you hate it when you feel attached
So just keep me arm’s length, I’m happy where I can look at you
Spinning like a star, you’re still my California baby blue
When the sun comes closer I hope I feel your breath

But you're not the best thing about New York
You're not even the best thing about me
When you leave I will grow into myself
I will feel everything, everything you gave me

Please don’t be mad about the white lies that I told you
I kept your necklace down my shirt so I could hold you
Next to my heart close to my blood pumping heavy in my nightmares
Sink your teeth into my dreams and tell me some small thing

So here’s your sweatshirt, I’m giving it back
I know you hate it when you feel attached
So just keep me arm’s length, I’m happy where I can look at you
Spinning like a star, you’re still my California baby blue
When the sun comes closer I hope I feel your breath

You’re not the best thing about new York
You’re not even the best thing about me
When you leave I will grow into myself
I will feel everything you gave me

You’re not the best thing about New York
You’re not even the best thing about me
I won’t be sorry for taking care of myself
I’m gonna be I’m gonna be something to see
