REM - Leaving New York lyrics

rate me

It's quiet now, and what it brings, is everything

comes calling back, a brilliant night, I'm still awake

I looked ahead, I'm sure I saw you there.

You don't need me to tell you now, that nothing can compare

(chorus)

You might've laughed if I told you,

You might have hidden your frown.

You might've succeeded in changing me,

I might've been turned around.

It's easier to leave than to be left behind,

Leaving was never my proud,

Leaving New York never easy,

I saw the light fading out.

Now life is sweet, and what it brings

I tried to take.

the loneliness it wears me out,

it lies in wake.

and all I've lost, you're in my eyes,

shatter a necklace across your thighs

i might've lived my life in a dream

but i swear it, this is real

memories refuses, and it shatters like glass

mercurial future, forget the past,

but it's you, it's what I feel

You might've laughed if I told you,

You might have hidden your frown.

You might've succeeded in changing me,

I might've been turned around.

It's easier to leave than to be left behind,

Leaving was never my proud,

Leaving New York never easy,

I saw the light fading out.

You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart,

You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart.

I told you, forever, I love you, forever - continues during

I told you, forever, I love you, forever / last chorus.

I told you, forever, I love you, forever

I told you, forever, I love you, forever

You might've laughed if I told you,

You might have hidden your frown.

You might've succeeded in changing me,

I might've been turned around.

It's easier to leave than to be left behind,

Leaving was never my proud,

Leaving New York never easy,

I saw the light fading out.

Leaving New York never easy,

I saw the light fading out.
