screeching brakes 
outdated train cars
thought i saw you
at a manhattan bar

but it was only all inside my head

take a stroll
throughout central park
think about 
my love for new york

and how the love i have for you should be dead

but it’s the kind of thing that never sleeps
and i’m alone in the city of my dreams 

what if i asked you for a dance 
down broadway to brooklyn 
just a chance to see what it could be 
underneath the lights of the city 

what if we rented an old apartment
with wood floors, exposed brick 
and a story behind it
with a view high up above 
i think i could only feel love
for new york and you-ooh ohh 

over again 
you trip me, i fall—
is that the skyline
or am i seeing stars 

i think id die if you just took my hand 

galleries 
and you’re the art 
i capture your picture
you capture my heart 

and i’m so lovesick i can’t even stand 

and it’s the kind of thing that never sleeps 
you and i in the city of our dreams 

what if i asked you for a dance 
down broadway to brooklyn 
just a chance to see what it could be 
underneath the lights of the city 

what if we rented an old apartment
with wood floors, exposed brick 
and a story behind it
with a view high up above 
i think i could only feel love
for new york and you-ooh ohh 

i leave across the bridge
and say “i’ll see you soon”
back to drowning in the small town
repetitive days and evening blues 

i’d do anything to just go back 
and live there the rest of my days 
and if i ever see you again 
i hope you wouldn’t mind if i say 

what if i asked you for a dance 
down broadway to brooklyn 
just a chance to see what it could be 
underneath the lights of the city 

what if we rented an old apartment
with wood floors, exposed brick 
and a story behind it
with a view high up above 
i think i could only feel love
for new york and you-ooh ohh 

for new york and you-ooh ooh 

and i hope that you feel that too

new york & you - rough demo
