New York City

Tight rope walking on your skyline

My nervous heart and butterflies

Battery park never felt so lonely

Empty minds on crowded streets

I'm looking down from a balcony

Count every cab, hope you're coming to me

You wanna see me under the streetlights

Of New York City

That's where I am tonight

Waiting and wondering if you'll show up

'Cause this back and forth isn't enough

Million of souls but no one compares

When I see you I light up Times Square

Just like the city, my love never sleeps for you

You wanna see me under the streetlights

Of New York City

That's where I am tonight

Waiting and wondering if you'll show up

'Cause this back and forth isn't enough

The past is a menace

You are my fluorescence

I know I'm dreaming

But I try to stay present

When I see your face

Three blocks down Broadway

I wake up as you fade away

I want

I want

I wanna see you

Under the streetlights

Of New York City

Where are you at tonight?

I'm just here waiting

For you to show up

This back and forth

Isn't enough
