Waking up in New York
After bringing in the New Year
All my life I've been beginning here

Waking up in New York
In early January
To 56 degree air

I know that time stops
And starts here

There's snow on the ground but the sky's glowing orange
It's midnight with miles of light pollution
But we see it as fighting the flames with fuchsias
In the beginning there was nothing
Which exploded

Waking up in the winter
I know I've been here before
It's always cold as hell in New York
But we laugh at the sunrise
In the middle of a snowstorm
You were always that warm winter day

New Youth
