Lying like a dog I'm lying
Lying on the hardwood floor again
I'm thinking about New Orleans
My therapist says I should really stop
Dwelling on the past like I always do
Instead of getting through getting over you
I'm just thinking about New Orleans
I know I should but don't know how to stop
Yeah, I know I should but don't know how to stop
I never knew we wouldn't get much farther
Than our hotel room at Place d'Armes
Or that it'd be the last time you spoke to me that way
I've got a few hundred photographs
That I'm afraid to lose but don't look at
Bittersweet like coffee and beignets
Nola days
Thought about singing this song to you
Remembered that the thought is nothing new
I'm just thinking about New Orleans
Ain't no point in asking you to change
Changing who you are ain't gonna work
You don't have to be who I thought you were
I'm just thinking about New Orleans
You really had me going quite insane
Yeah, you really had me going didn't you babe
Well I'm far better off I suppose
If that's true for you I'll never know
Never knew we wouldn't get much farther
Than our hotel room at Place d'Armes
Or that it'd be the last time you spoke to me that way
I've got a few hundred photographs
That I'm afraid to lose but don't look at
Bittersweet like coffee and beignets
Yeah, they're bittersweet like coffee and beignets
