I saw another car fly by today
I was waiting for another ride when she asked me to stay
I would agree but if you're like me
then you'll see
that good intentions are hard to perceive
where the broke and the wealthy dream
in the city that never sleeps
she's just like me
the sun may rise
but you won't even notice
cause these lights are so bright
you get caught up in the moment
you're tired but you can't show it when you're here
i saw an empty space to park my mind
i can stay for another drink if you could drop a dime
you'll buy some time but i think you find down the line
a long conversation is not what you need
where the broke and then wealthy dream
in the city that never sleeps
she's just like me
the sun may rise
but you won't even know it
cause these lights are so bright
you get caught up in the moment
tired but you can't show in when you're here
in this empire state
it's a love affair that you love to hate
and i can't seem to find a way
to separate the night from the day
and the sun may rise
but you won't even know it
cause these lights are so bright
you get caught up in the moment
and the sun may rise
you won't even know it
tired but you can't show it when you're here.
