Snow Patrol New York song lyrics

If you were here beside me, instead of in New York

If the curve of you was curved on me

I'd tell you that I loved you, before I ever knew you

Cause I loved the simple thought of you

If our hearts are never broken, then there's no joy in the mending

There's so much this hurt can teach us both

Though there's distance and there's silence, your words have never left me

They're the prayer that I say every day

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

The long neon nights and the eek of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all from the love to the lightning

And the lack of it, snaps me in two

If you were here beside me, instead of in New York

In the arms, you said you'd never leave

I'd tell you that it's simple and it was only ever thus

There is nowhere else that I belong

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

The long neon nights and the eek of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all from the love to the lightning

And the lack of it, snaps me in two

Just give me a sign there's an end and a beginning

To the quiet chaos driving me mad

The long neon nights and the want of the ocean

And the fire that is starting to go out
