Walking through a crowd the village is a glow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before
And it said
Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
It's a new soundtrack
I can 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
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
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
Em * D * C *
But you know you wouldn't change
Anything anything any-thing
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 can dance to this beat, beat
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, (welcome to New York)
New soundtrack, it's been waiting for you (welcome to New York)
The lights are so bright but they never blind me
Welcome to New York
So bright they never blind me
