Walkin’ through a crowd, the village is a glow Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats Everybody here wanted somethin’ more Searchin’ for a sound we hadn’t heard before And it said
Welcome to New York It’s been waitin’ for you Welcome to New York, welcome to New York Welcome to New York It’s been waitin’ for you Welcome to New York, welcome to New York It’s a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore The lights are so bright but they never blind me, me Welcome to New York It’s been waitin’ for you Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
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 And you can want who you want Boys and boys and girls and girls
Welcome to New York It’s been waitin’ for you Welcome to New York, welcome to New York Welcome to New York It’s been waitin’ for you Welcome to New York, welcome to New York It’s a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore The lights are so bright but they never blind me, me Welcome to New York It’s been waitin’ for you Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
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 know you wouldn’t change anything, anything, anything
