City That Never Sleeps (stripped) 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 clichés
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
Trying to forget about you and me
But it′s all that I can see
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, yeah
I guess I won't be getting any sleep
′Til I leave


I can't focus like I should
My vision′s obscured by fucking 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
Trying to forget about you and me
But it's all that I can see
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, yeah
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 playing tricks on my mind
You and your ghost follow me through the night
It haunts me inside
I just can't close my eyes
Yeah-yeah, yeah


I 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, but it′s covered in you and me, yeah
I guess I won't be getting any sleep
