Walking through a crowd, the village is aglow Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats Everybody here wanting something more Searching for a sound that they haven't heard before Welcome to New York It's been waiting for you Welcome to New York Welcome to New York It's been waiting for you Welcome to New York Said, It's a new soundtrack I can dance to this beat, beat Forevermore The lights are so bright They never blind me, me When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors Took our broken hearts and put them in a drawer Everybody here was someone else before You can want who you want Boys and boys, girls and girls Welcome to New York It's been waiting for you Welcome to New York Welcome to New York It's been waiting for you Welcome to New York Welcome to New York It's a new soundtrack I can dance to this beat, beat Forevermore The lights are so bright They never blind me, me Like any great love, it keeps you guessing Like any real love, it's ever-changing Like any true love, it drives you crazy But you wouldn't change anything, anything, anything Aahhh... Aahhh... Oohh...
