I can't walk down these streets And see all these signs Without you on my mind Remembering all the days The New York cliches Those late downtown nights You're everywhere I go I can't help but notice I wouldn't know you if I never come here I lie awake in the city that never sleeps Trying to forget about you and me But it's hard 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 But it's covered in you and me I guess I won't be getting any sleep Till I leave I can't focus like I should My vision's obscured by fucking memory lanes Suppose the world 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 Trying to forget about you and me But it's hard 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 But it's covered in you and me I guess I won't be getting any sleep Till I leave Till I leave Darkness falls under all of the lies Got that empire state playing tricks on my mind You and your ghosts follow me through the night But it haunts me inside I just can't close my eyes I lie awake in the city that never sleeps Trying to forget about you and me But it's hard 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 But it's covered in you and me I guess I won't be getting any sleep
