I can't explain it
This yearning feeling
There's no escaping
Keeps creeping back in
Round every corner
Every stone turned over Maybe I'm meant to be in New York
There's someone out there
Inside the mirror
Her plan is grand and
Her mind is clearer
Behind the curtain Living a life I wanted
Maybe I'm meant to be in New York
New York, New York
Oh,
where the
future's bright The grass looks so much greener in the neon lights
Oh,
when the seasons change And everyone
goes west to breathe the cold
The ground beneath me is always shaking The
roads have cracks and
the sidewalks breaking
I'm sure the big one's in the palm trees
falling I'd feel much safer out in New York
Oh,
I
can't explain it
This yearning feeling
I didn't choose it
It didn't choose me
Round every corner
Every stone turned over
It's telling me to go to New York
Maybe I'll find myself in New York
Maybe I'm meant to be in New York
