lyrics

Standing hand in hand, with my foot in a grave
 I'm really jonesing love, it's all I've had to say
 Tombstone days, early morning haz
e.
 I watched the headlights drive away  New York, please bring her back 
New York, come on, she's all I have
 I don't know if this way will last 
Come on, New York
 Please bring her back

  A picture's worth a thousand words, you're worth so much more
 A lick and a promise, to keep my heart to the floor 
With no objection, my self-correction, I'm a skin-tight fit 
So codependent  

Hold me close, your one and only 
Just promise me you'll never let me go (Let me go) 
(come closer, let these words wrap around your throat)  

New York, please bring her back
 New York, come on, she's all I have
 I don't know if this way will last
 Come on, New York
 Please bring her back
