Lyrics
New York
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you were here beside me, instead of in new york
If the curve of you was curved on me
I'd tell you that I loved you, before I ever knew you
'Cause I loved the simple thought of you
If our hearts are never broken, then there's no joy in the mending
There's so much this hurt can teach us both
Though there's distance and there's silence, your words have never left me
They're the prayer that I say every day
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
The long neon nights and the eek of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it, snaps me in two
If you were here beside me, instead of in new york
In the arms, you said you'd never leave
I'd tell you that it's simple and it was only ever thus
There is nowhere else that I belong
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
The long neon nights and the eek of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it, snaps me in two
Just give me a sign there's an end and a beginning
To the quiet chaos driving me mad
The long neon nights and the want of the ocean
And the fire that is starting to go out
