NYC

(album: Us - 2017)

We sold everything
And loaded up your car
Boxes and bags of clothes
And even your dog
We were headed east
Where the buildings tower tall
You and I
We had nothing but we had it all

And that's when I knew, that's when I saw it
Oh, that look in your eyes, I couldn't have bought it

We were halfway to New York City
Holding onto nothing but a dream
The world it seemed so easy
We were so young and naive
You were looking at me, I was looking at you
That's when I knew, and we were halfway to New York City
Oh, halfway to New York City
Oh yeah

We barely made it, with scrapes and empty pockets
The view was grand and the subway was hot
Unforgiving roads and shattered hope
You and I, we had it all and then it was gone

And that's when I knew, that's when I saw it
Oh, that look in your eyes, I couldn't have bought it

We were halfway to New York City
Holding onto nothing but a dream
The world it seemed so easy
We were so young and naive
You were looking at me, I was looking at you
That's when I knew, and we were halfway to New York City
Oh, halfway to New York City
Oh yeah

Fighting through traffic, fighting to find our way back home
Clutch hands, feelings, feelings like we've never known
Skylines and sunsets were nothing compared to your silhouette
Big dreams and big hearts, they had their chance, they had their start

We were halfway to New York City
Holding onto nothing but a dream
(Nothing but a dream)
The world, it seemed so easy
We were so young and naive
(We were so naive)
Oh-oh, you were looking at me
I was looking at you
That's when I knew (That's when I knew)
And when we were halfway to New York City
(We were halfway to New York City)
Oh, halfway to New York City
Oh yeah
