There's a girl in New York City

Skylines no longer pretty

Bound to destination anywhere

She grew up in California

Big dreams, they tend to own you there

Now she's building cardboard castles in the air

Here's all that's left of her dignity

She goes yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah yeah

There's a girl in New York City

Skylines no longer pretty

Bound to destination anywhere

She grew up in California

Big dreams, they tend to own you there

Now she's building cardboard castles in the air

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

There's a girl in New York City

Skylines no longer pretty

Bound to destination anywhere

Big dreams, they tend to own you there

Now she's building cardboard castles in the air

Yeah, yeah, yeah
