I think you've had enough to handle

And I can see it in your smile

It's become a function of her fashion

As if satisfaction's going out of style



It's just a blessing of reception

And I see sorrow in your eyes

Oh let the candidate for caution

Crossing your sentimental lines



If it's okay could I stay a while



Color coded in calming you

The walls are barren, they're just like you

Hardly motivated and destitute design



Upstate blues they could paint this room

Cold and grey like New York in you



I didn't want to stay here but you couldn't wait to leave

A whole community of people never sleeping only drinking alone

They soak their twenties into tens its like their twenties never end



Upstate blues they could paint this room

Cold and grey like New York in you



I survey the scene I see

If misery loves company than what does that make me



Dusting for prints here

And chasing the names of the friends who've escaped you

I've begged you to leave Niagara, it makes headstones



Turn out the tricks beneath your sleeves

So you can see what you've always feared

I know this all seems absurd to hear



But I couldn't follow through



Upstate blues they will paint your room

Cold and grey like New York in you
