Lyrics: New York City

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 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
