Don't wanna get out of bed
Cause I know
That nothing has changed
I've got room to grow
But you will always stay the same
Immortalized in my brain
I'm stuck living in my head
Cause it's clear
The city makes me numb
And nobody's sincere
Sometimes, I wish I'd never come
But it's not much better where im from
Cause it rains in
New York City
Even though it's mid-July
You've been dreaming
Of this moment
"You're so pretty when you cry"
Realize life is
Not a movie
As the darkness fills your skies
Thunder can't drown out your pity
When it rains in New York City
Don't wear my heart on my sleeve
Cause I've learned
Each match you lit in me
I was bound to get burned
Smoke-blinded, I couldn't see
Past streetlights to reality
Guess I'm just really naive
Too late!
I'll always care too much
And though I know it wan't fate
I imagined the spark in every touch
Even though you never felt the rush
Cause it rains in
New York City
Even though it's mid-July
You've been dreaming
Of this moment
"You're so pretty when you cry"
Realize life is
Not a movie
As the darkness fills your skies
Thunder can't drown out your pity
When it rains in New York City
The streets here are always alive
At night
But no one's really living
Spitting venom as we fight
And I guess the world isn't so forgiving
You know I never cared about winning
Don't know how I could survive
It's true
Who cares about broadway
When I came here for you?
But now there's nothing left to say
Cause I'm not your reason to stay
Cause it rains in
New York City
Even though it's mid-July
You've been dreaming
Of this moment
"You're so pretty when you cry"
Realize life is
Not a movie
As the darkness fills your skies
Thunder can't drown out your pity
When it rains in New York City
