Verse I:
Walking 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)
It’s a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
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 II:
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)
It’s a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
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)
[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
(pause)
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)
It’s a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat, beat
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)
