New York City (Radio Edit)

I can't remember what I planned tomorrow, I can't remember when it's time to go
When I look in the mirror, Tracing lines with a pencil
I remember what came before

I wanted to think there was endless love, Until I saw the light dim in your eyes
In the dead of night, I found out sometimes there's love that won't survive

New York City, Such a beautiful disease
New York City, Such a beautiful, Such a beautiful disease

Laura kept all her disappointments, Locked up in a box behind her closet door
She pulled down the blinds and listened to the thunder, With no way out from the family store

We all told her things could get better, When you just say goodbye
I'll lay awake one more night, Caught in a vision I want to deny

And did I mention the note that I found, Taped to my locked front door
It talked about no regrets, As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor

I rode the train for hours on end and watched the people pass me by
It could be that it has no end, Just an action junkie's lullaby

New York City, Such a beautiful disease
New York City, Such a beautiful, Such a beautiful disease

We were full of the stuff that every dream rested, As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky
Caught up in the whole illusion, That dreams never pass us by

Came to a tattooed conclusion, That the big one was knocking on the door
What started as a mass delusion, Would take me far from the place I adore

New York City, Such a beautiful disease
New York City, You're my beautiful, Such a beautiful disease

That's it
