I've just had the craziest week Like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud It's therapeutic somehow So I'm moving to New York 'Cause I've got problems with my sleep And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve So I'm moving to New York 'Cause I've got issues with my sleep Looks like Christmas came early Christmas came early for me I put one foot forward and ended up 30 yards back Am I loosing touch or am I just completely off the track And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud It's therapeutic somehow So I'm moving to New York 'Cause I've got problems with my sleep And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve So I'm moving to New York 'Cause I've got issues with my sleep Looks like Christmas came early Christmas came early for me
