Welcome to New York

Walking through a crowd, the village is aglow

Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

Everybody here wanted something more

Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before

And it said






Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat, forevermore

The lights are so bright but they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York






When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors

Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer

Everybody here was someone else before

And you can want who you want

Boys and boys and girls and girls






Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat, forevermore

The lights are so bright but they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York






Like any great love, it keeps you guessing

Like any real love, it's ever-changing

Like any true love, it drives you crazy

But you know you wouldn't change anything, anything, anything






Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat, forevermore

The lights are so bright but they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
