Snow Patrol - New York lyrics

rate me

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 even knew you

Cause I loved the simple thought of you.

If our hearts were never broken

Well 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 (4x)

The lone neon nights

and the eke of the ocean

and the fire that has started 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 (x4)

The lone neon nights

and the eke of the ocean

and the fire that has started 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's an end in the beginning

To the quiet chaos driving me mad.

The lone neon nights

and the want of the ocean

and the fire that has started to go out.
