City That Never Sleeps Lyrics

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
