Notting Hill Lyrics

I needed air, so I fled the country

London bound, wondering if you love me

I couldn't sleep on the red eye

So I thought about you the whole damn flight

Replaying that night down in Brooklyn

You looked at me funny, and the bar started spinning

Now you're out with your friends in the village

And I'm scared to death there's a girl that you're kissing

Cause we're just friends, but it's more than that

Cause you make me blush, and I make you laugh

Tryna figure out if you like me back

Oh I need a distraction

I need a course of action

So I run away, find a change of scene

Ride the underground right to Regent Street

And I love it here, oh I really do

But I might try to call you from a telephone booth

I lose myself in London

Wondering if we're everything or maybe just nothing at all

The lights shine down Carnaby

But I can't help thinking they'd be so much brighter if you were with me

You're out in New York City

I'm halfway 'round the world, dying to know if you miss me too

So I'll wander 'round Notting Hill with my headphones on

And play a sad song

I watch the world from a double decker

Decided that maybe it's probably better

We don't talk and I just keep my distance

You've been making a mess of my feelings

I don't wanna like you, but God knows that I do

Wondering what would it be like

To walk across cobblestone streets with you

Hands entwined on the Tube

Got a mad imagination, yeah it's sad but it's true

Cause we're just friends, is it more than that

I'm delusional, I know that for a fact

There's a damn good chance you don't like me back

So I need a distraction

I need a course of action

So I run away, run to catch the train

Ride the Circle line right to Notting Hill Gate

And I love it here, oh I really do

All these perfect pastel houses, but I'm still feeling blue

I lose myself in London

Wondering if we're everything or maybe just nothing at all

The lights shine down Carnaby

But I can't help thinking they'd be so much brighter if you were with me

You're out in New York City

I'm halfway 'round the world, dying to know if you miss me too

So I'll wander 'round Notting Hill with my headphones on

And play a sad song

When I get back to New York

Will you be waiting there at my door

Cause if you don't want me that way

Then in Notting Hill I'll have to stay

There's an ocean that keeps us apart

And it's hard to breathe with half of a heart

Cause the other half's in a subway car

I'd go anywhere to be right where you are

I lose myself in London

Wondering if we're everything or maybe just nothing at all

The lights shine down Carnaby

But I can't help thinking they'd be so much brighter if you were with me

You're out in New York City

I'm halfway 'round the world, dying to know if you miss me too

So I'll wander 'round Notting Hill with my headphones on

And play a sad song
