Walking through a crowd the village is aglow

Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

Everybody here wanted something more

Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before

And it said

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

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

But they never blind me (me)

Welcome to New York

It's 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

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

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

But they never blind me (me)

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

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 know you wouldn't change anything anything anything

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

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

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me

Welcome to New York

New soundtrack

It's 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
