Lyrics
I Know You're In New York
I know you're in New York, saw your plane touch down on the news
My heart is still at war, over the way I feel for you
I know you're in New York, by the way I can hardly breathe
And I can't keep from hoping you're coming home to me
I know you're in New York, cause the streets all lead to you
And I feel you even more like the sting of a brand new bruise
I know you're in New York, so I wait for the bells in my phone
And I hope that you're finally tired of being alone
I thought I could play in your casual game but I feel too much
You're my biggest regret but I'm not done yet 'cause I haven't had enough
I know you're in New York, so we're bound to cross paths sometime
And it won't be like before but the past isn't far behind
I know you're in New York, so you'll need to come through this way
Maybe after all this time you'll be finally ready to stay
(chorus)
Even if I tried I don't think I'd be able to let go
If we're nothing but a lie, then the truth doesn't need to be told
I refuse to believe that you never felt a thing
If I close my eyes I can pretend this isn't happening
