I can't walk down these streets and see all these signs Without you on my mind Remembering all the days, the New York clichés 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 Trying to forget about you and me But it's all that I can see 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, yeah I guess I won't be getting any sleep 'Til I leave I can't focus like I should My vision's obscured by fucking 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 Trying to forget about you and me But it's all that I can see 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, yeah I guess I won't be getting any sleep 'Til I leave 'Til I leave Darkness falls under all of the lights Got that Empire State playing tricks on my mind You and your ghost follow me through the night It haunts me inside I just can't close my eyes Yeah-yeah, yeah I lie awake in the city of broken dreams The city of how we used to be (how we used to be, yeah) Wish I could see it differently Oh, but it's covered in you and me, yeah I guess I won't be getting any sleep
