Lyrics

Boy, you take me by surprise again
you take me by the hand and then
lead me down the streets of new york
on a willful afternoon
when i thought love could choose
i heard your song playing on the radio
i'm somewhere i don't want to be
the city's moving over me
but i think i'm going to stay
Please dont be alarmed
i'm at the start of something
i walked up the grand to our hotel
and bought a round of perfect tens
and imagined you were there
and you, you became the man who explained
if this wasn't love how could it have been anything else?
I'm somehwere I don't want to be
The city's moving over me
But I think I'm going to stay
Please don't be alarmed
I'm at the start of something
I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
We stayed
and smoked another cigarette
And if smoke lingers I wont forget
I try to say I'm sorry
An you, you're with more than I could ever be
But I looked up and you had disappeared
And left ya crying to the rain
I'm somewhere I don't want to be
The city's moving over me
Yet I think I'm gong to stay
Please don't be alone
I'm at the start of something
I want to ask you everything
