New York Song Lyrics

In the winter it was so so cold
The fish all died, the fall of crows
There was nothing left for the crows to do but wait
And they said

They said being here is better than wishing we'd stayed
Yes being here is seeming to be the way
Oh being here is better than wishing we had stayed

They stayed under water for so so long
They wait for the spring when the ice will thaw
And frozen parts will be filled with song
The sun filtered down through all them waves
And they said

They said being here is better than wishing we'd stayed
Yes being here is seeming to be the way
Being here is like breathing on the hottest day
I think I would rather suffocate

Last summer they said it was so so hot
Two lovers did drown their dreams were sunk
While their bodies were lost their souls stayed around
They stayed underwater most go underground
And they said

They said being here is better than wishing we'd stayed (being here is better)
Yes being here is seeming to be the way (x4) (than wishing we'd stayed)
