New York

If you were here beside me

Instead of in New York

If the curve of you was curved on me

I'd tell you that I loved you

Before I ever knew you

'Cause I loved the simple thought of you

If our hearts are never broken

Then there's no joy in the mending

There's so much this hurt can teach us both

There's distance and there's silence

Your words have never left me

They're the prayer that I say every day

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

The long neon nights

And the ache of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all from the love to the lightning

And the lack of it snaps me in two

If you were here beside me

Instead of in New York

In the arms you said you'd never leave

I'd tell you that it's simple

And it was only ever thus

There is nowhere else that I belong

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

The long neon nights

And the ache of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all from the love to the lightning

And the lack of it snaps me in two

Just give me a sign

There is an end and a beginning

To the quiet chaos driving me mad

The long neon nights

And the warmth of the ocean

And the fire that had started to go out
