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'd never come here
I lie awake in the city that never sleeps
Tryna forget about you and me
But it's all 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
Oh, 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 ****ing memory lane
Oh, suppose the work 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
Tryna forget about you and me
But it's all 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
Oh, 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 lights
Got that empire state playin' tricks on my mind
You and your ghost follow me through the night
It haunts me inside
I just can't close my eyes
I lie awake in the city that never sleeps
Tryna forget about you and me
But it's all that I can see (All that I can see)
I lie awake in the city of broken dreams
The city of how we used to be (How we used to be, yeah, yeah)
Wish I could see it differently
Oh , but it's covered in you and me
I guess I won't be getting any sleep
