"& Company" is dedicated to the beautiful people I met in New York City. They changed the way I view myself and the world around me, and for that, I couldn't be more thankful.
lyrics
It's been a long week
Straight from city street to summer heat
and now I'm sitting looking at the sea
And I'm suspended
I know the season always ends
and I wondering how to keep that spark in me
Because it slipped under my fingers when it stole my breath
It caught me in my tracks and now I can't look back
And I'm terrified to find that maybe New York wasn't mine
I'm just a jealous stranger begging for its time
And we were so hot with the promise of more
Crowded into yellow taxicabs not knowing what we went there for
But we had drinks in our blood
A blue pulse in our veins
and we were thirsty for change
[chorus]
I fell asleep by the light of a skyline
that didn't pretend to know me at all
I stitched myself into its gridlike fabric
and now that I've had it
I can't seem to shake it now
I stole a new pulse
Memorized a thousand faces
and I felt the sidewalk scream beneath my feet
I would wake up
to crooked limbs wrapped up in mine
and know the nights left were fleeting
but god, they were sweet
I'm aching for something to shock my bones
Because the state of not knowing still feels like home
We couldn't see stars so we soaked up the sky
Drank power by day and whiskey by night
And we were so hot from our toes to our tongues
Well we had gold around our wrists and electric blue in our lungs
and I can't stop
I can't slow it down
I've gotten used to this collision course so I'll be back around
[chorus]
I fell asleep by the light of a skyline
that didn't pretend to know me at all
I stitched myself into its gridlike fabric
and now that I've had it
I can't seem to shake it now
I fell in love with a cold, hard city, yeah
That made me believe I was more than I am
We came from the east and the west and the south
And I can't seem to shake it,
I can't seem to shake it now
