She said we only have what's left in the room
I wanna be covered in California,
Wanna be dressed in her perfume.
I said let's get lost, we can run away,
But she doesn't want to leave this place,
It was never home to me anyway.
But home is wherever you are
You make it hard to move on
When I can see your silhouette on the front door as I leave,
If this is how you wanted it to go.
I left my heart in New York, empty like your word.
Now all that's left of me is the afterglow.
And I'm done with waiting on you to make up your mind.
If it's too hard for you to see it from my side
But I can't have peace of mind,
If the views of the West aren't in your eyes,
I know you've got your own life,
I'm just trying to make sense of mine.
(But I'm bereft...)
When I can see your silhouette on the front door as I leave,
If this is how you wanted it to go.
I left my heart in New York, empty like your word,
Now all that's left of me is the afterglow.
(The afterglow)
I told you to breath in and tell me where you wanna go,
Cause aywhere you are is gonna be home.
You make it hard to leave I know it shows,
Can't change your mind, I know, I know.
Breathe in and tell me where you wanna go,
'Cause anywhere you are is gonna be home.
You make it hard to leave I know it shows,
When I get on that plane I hope you come along.
I'm feeling wrecked,
When I can see your silhouette on the front door as I leave,
If this is how you wanted it to go.
I left my heart in New York, empty like your word,
Now all that's left of me is the afterglow.
