Walking through a crowd the village is aglow

Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

Everybody here wanting something more

Searching for a sound that they haven't heard before

And it said

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

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 can dance to this beat beat

Forevermore

The lights are so bright

They never blind me me

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors

Took our broken hearts and put them in a drawer

Everybody here was someone else before

You can want who you want

Boys and boys girls and girls

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

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 can dance to this beat beat

Forevermore

The lights are so bright

They never blind me me

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 wouldn't change anything anything anything
