New York

Why's it always snowing when I leave here?
Covering my tracks so there's nothing left of me here
Why you always fight me when I go?
Are you trying to make it easier?
It don't get easier you know

New York
I can't say goodbye again
so come on let go of my hand
I've gotta leave here
let me go before my heart tells me I can't

Today I love this town so fiercely
I love the buildings and the stoplight down on Main Street
all the seagulls and the river and the grey sky
It all looks so good when you're looking for the last time

New York
I can't say goodbye again
so come on let go of my hand
I've gotta leave here
let me go before my heart tells me I can't

My whole world grew up from this house
now we're turning all the lights out
and I'm standing in the doorway
with one eye on the street
afraid I'll take the floorboards with me if I move my feet

New York
I can't say goodbye again
so come on let go of my hand
I've gotta leave here
let me go before my heart tells me I can't
... let me go before my heart starts breaking
