City That Never Sleeps Songtext
von Jamie Miller

I can′t walk down these streets
And see all these signs
Without you on my mind
Remembering all the days
The New York cliches
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
Tryin′ forget about you and me
But it′s all that I can see
I 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
I guess I won′t be getting any sleep
'Til I leave


I can′t focus like I should
My visions obscured
I'm stuck in 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
Tryin′ forget about you and me
But it′s all that I can see
I lie awake in the city of broken dreams
The city of how we used to be
Wish I could see it differently, oh, oh
But it's covered in you and me
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 playin' tricks on my mind
You and your ghost follow me through the night
It haunts me inside
I just can′t close my eyes


I lie awake in the city that never sleeps
Tryin' forget about you and me
But it's all that I can see (all that I can see)
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, oh
But it′s covered in you and me
I guess I won′t be getting any sleep
