The Blank Face of New York Lyrics

It's been a lifetime in the making, spotlights never sleep

The search stays on and runs you ragged, unless you criminals believe

Bright lights hail attraction, youth burn out on their own

There three rivers stand for trade, but here they stand for home

She asked for me to go and see her off, but I couldn't leave my car

Don't remember leaving, but she watched me leave her

It might've been easier to hear her say I'm just not good enough

Than to watch her leave here, I had to watch her leave here

Now New York watches blankly

Slide onto the railing, heels beyond the balcony

She's looking for that crescent moon, maybe thinking of me too

Settle into chaos, she's gotta be famous for everyone

She needs acclaim from strangers, didn't come enough from me

Must've blacked out but I'm still intact, don't remember where I drove

But I still have that feeling, I won't forget that feeling

I tried my best at the terminal, whatever and ever, amen

Didn't make her stay here, I couldn't watch her stay here

Now New York watches blankly

Must've blacked out but I'm still intact, don't remember where I drove

But I still have that feeling, I won't forget that feeling

You know I tried my best not to let her go, but I had to see it through

Couldn't make her stay here, I couldn't watch her stay here

Now New York watches blankly

New York watches blankly

If it won't go the way you want

I'll be here at home when you come home

If it won't go the way you want

I'll be here at home when you come home

So when you coming home

When you coming home
