“New York” plays with the idealization of the city it’s named after, and how so many travel there to gain inspiration, a sense of purpose, or even just a feeling of belonging. But the song isn’t telling you to run away in order to find yourself; it’s about discovering all that you have, right where you are. New York has become less of a place and more of a dream, and “New York” is about realizing that dream with those you love. Contentment doesn’t always need to be a visit to a big city. It’s not where you are, but who you’re with that makes the place special -- “I was wrong when I said I was bored / Any street that I’m walking on with you / Anywhere with you could be New York.”
