Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walkin' through a crowd, the village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before
And it said
[Chorus]
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
[Chorus]
It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat forever more
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
[Verse 2]
When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and girls and girls
[Chorus]
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
[Chorus]
It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat forever more
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York (New York)
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
[Bridge]
Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Like any real love, it's ever changing
Like any true love, it drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn't change
Anything, anything, anything
[Chorus]
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
[Chorus]
It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me (Welcome to New York)
New soundtrack
It's been waiting for you (Welcome to New York)
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me (Welcome to New York)
So bright, they never blind me (Welcome to New York)
Welcome to New York
