Hello

I'm so bored (woo)

Wake up late, eat some cereal

Try my best to be physical

Lose myself in a TV show

Staring out to oblivion

All my friends are invisible

Twenty-four seven, miss 'em all

I might cry like a waterfall

I feel afraid when I feel alone, yeah, uh

Have sex, me and my romeo

He says I'm irresistible

I'm gassed up like I'm texaco

I ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride it

Sometimes, I feel okay, some days, I'm so frightened

I want anthems

Late nights, my friends, New York

I sleep, wanna wake up brand new

I sleep, wanna wake up with you (you)

I want anthems

Late nights, my friends, New York

Finally, when it's over

We might be even closer, uh, uh

Uh, uh, uh, uh

These days exhausting

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Go online shopping

I'm so uninspired, I just wanna breathe

Flowers and the trees, dirt all on my knees

Got some hands to hold on to

I get existential and so strange

I hear no sounds when I'm shouting

I just wanna go to parties

Up high, wanna feel the heat from all the bodies

I want anthems

Late nights, my friends, New York

I sleep, wanna wake up brand new

I sleep, wanna wake up with you (you)

I want anthems

Late nights, my friends, New York

Finally, when it's over

We might be even closer, uh, uh

We might, we might, we might, we might, we might

We might, we might, we might, we might, we might

We might, we might, we might, we might, we might

Yeah

I want anthems

Late nights, my friends, New York

I sleep, wanna wake up brand new

I sleep, wanna wake up with you (you)

I want anthems

Late nights, my friends, New York

Finally, when it's over

We might be even closer, uh, uh
