Lower Madison Avenue is where I first laid eyes on you

I still remember your jacket

Red riding hood in Manhattan

You took a job in LA, you were only here for two more days

And somehow 48 hours later, we’re fighting back tears at JFK

But I won’t stop you so I walk you to your gate

Check your bags in - did I see you hesitate?

Have a safe flight, I hope it gets delayed

But when the wheels left the runway I couldn’t help but laugh

I’ll come and visit someday cause you came and went too fast

That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back

That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back

It’s not like we can’t keep in touch but different time zones make it tough

I’ll send you messages about stupid **** that only you and I would get Maybe I’ll come surprise you, but maybe that’s too much?

I wonder what you’re thinking and is it about us?

We only had a weekend but I can’t help but feel like I know you, need you, miss you

But when the wheels left the runway I couldn’t help but laugh

I’ll come and visit someday cause you came and went too fast

That’s the thing about a New York Minute - there’s just no getting it back
