City That Never Sleeps

I can't walk down these streets

And see all these signs

Without you on my mind

Remembering all the days

The New York clichés

Those late downtown nights

You're everywhere I go

I can't help but notice

I wouldn't know you if I'd never come here

I lie awake in the city that never sleeps

Tryin' forget about you and me

But it's all that I can see

I lie awake in the city of broken dreams

The city of how we used to be

Wish I could see it differently, oh

But it's covered in you and me

I guess I won't be getting any sleep

'Til I leave

I can't focus like I should

My visions obscured

But fuck your memory lane, oh

Suppose the work does me good

But I'd go if I could

'Cause it don't feel the same to lie awake

In the city that never sleeps

Tryin' forget about you and me

But it's all that I can see

I lie awake in the city of broken dreams

The city of how we used to be

Wish I could see it differently, oh, oh

But it's covered in you and me

I guess I won't be getting any sleep

'Til I leave, 'til I leave

Darkness falls under all of the lights

Got that Empire State playin' tricks on my mind

You and your ghost follow me through the night

It haunts me inside

I just can't close my eyes

I lie awake in the city that never sleeps

Tryin' forget about you and me

But it's all that I can see (all that I can see)

Lie awake in the city of broken dreams

The city of how we used to be (how we used to be, yeah)

Wish I could see it differently, oh, oh

But it's covered in you and me

I guess I won't be getting any sleep
