Empire State Love Affair

I saw another car fly by today

I was waiting for another ride when she asked me to stay

I would agree but if you're like me

then you'll see

that good intentions are hard to perceive

where the broke and the wealthy dream

in the city that never sleeps

she's just like me

the sun may rise

but you won't even notice

cause these lights are so bright

you get caught up in the moment

you're tired but you can't show it when you're here

i saw an empty space to park my mind

i can stay for another drink if you could drop a dime

you'll buy some time but i think you find down the line

a long conversation is not what you need

where the broke and then wealthy dream

in the city that never sleeps

she's just like me

the sun may rise

but you won't even know it

cause these lights are so bright

you get caught up in the moment

tired but you can't show in when you're here

in this empire state

it's a love affair that you love to hate

and i can't seem to find a way

to separate the night from the day

and the sun may rise

but you won't even know it

cause these lights are so bright

you get caught up in the moment

and the sun may rise

you won't even know it

tired but you can't show it when you're here.
