Walking through a crowd the village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadnt heard before
And it said

Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

Its 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
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts 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
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

Its 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
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

Like any great love it keeps you guessing
Like any real love its ever-changing
Like any true love it drives you crazy
But you know you wouldnt change anything anything anything

Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

Its a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome to New York

New soundtrack
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome to New York
So bright they never blind me
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
