  • Miles from home, my style has grown
    Sick of getting played like a xylophone
    My instrument is me with thousands of bones
    Wilin', I just wanna zone
    My mama knows
    I need a chick to be kinda dope
    Smile a lot, give a lot of (dome)
    Only to me, spoil me with your bad (ass)
    You're like royalty, baby, catch that
    See the rain is makin' me feel painless
    This relationship is so dangerous
    If they find out, what will they make of it
    So I say that every kiss like a sanction
    You ain't missin' a thing
    With other niggas who sing
    I need cash just to give you a ring
    Love at first sight, but it was blocked by pain
    So for you, I'll exceed the top 5 in the game

    In the city lights
    I swear I hear you call my name (call my name)
    There's nothing right
    I'm stuck here while you're miles away (miles away)
    In New York raining
    In New York raining
    It's too much my babe I need you
    It's too much my babe I need you

    Red wine and cheese before bed time
    You and I fell in love is the headline
    Instead of whinin' about what I've been findin'
    I stay silent and let you chime in
    You want me to talk?, fine then
    Someone broke your heart?
    Let me find them
    But I hate fights and now I got stage fright
    Until I'm at your place at the late night
    You make me smile, stop doing that
    A lot is on my mind when I rap, in fact
    You are a lot, I guess I rap for you
    Needless to say, the (sex) is magical
    After you, chivalry I have to do
    I love it when you catch an attitude
    I want to tease you just to laugh at you
    So that make up (sex) could be a faster move
    C'mon!

    In the city lights
    I swear I hear you call my name (call my name)
    There's nothing right
    I'm stuck here while you're miles away (miles away)
    In New York raining
    In New York raining
    It's too much my babe I need you
    It's too much my babe I need you

    When the rain falls down, the pain is all out
    My brain, you call out my name and that's fame
    I'm looking great but I still feel shame
    For real it's the game
    I feel insane
    But when I'm with you, my feelings change
    I love you, I really hope you feel the same
    You know what I am, you're holdin' my hand
    No one else can so I'm your man
    Your palm reads bliss
    What are we miss?
    You are what I miss and we all need this
    Love and affection is all we miss
    From the world but with each other
    That's all we get
    I wanna hear you out, talk to me, miss
    I hardly wanna slip the awesomest kiss
    Call me whenever, call me forever
    As long as I can call us together
    I love you

    In the city lights
    I swear I hear you call my name (call my name)
    There's nothing right
    I'm stuck here while you're miles away (miles away)
    In New York raining
    In New York raining there's too much
    My babe, I need you
    There's too much, my babe I need you Writer/s: Alex Oriet, Charles Hamilton, David Phelan, George Astasio, Jason Pebworth, Jonathan Shave, Laura White
