Walkin' through a crowd, the village is aglow

Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

Everybody here wanted something more

Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before

And it said

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack

I could dance to this beat, beat forever more

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors

Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer

Everybody here was someone else before

And you can want who you want

Boys and boys and girls and girls

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack

I could dance to this beat, beat forever more

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York (New York)

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

Like any great love, it keeps you guessing

Like any real love, it's ever changing

Like any true love, it drives you crazy

But you know you wouldn't change

Anything, anything, anything

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack

I could dance to this beat

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me (Welcome to New York)

New soundtrack

It's been waiting for you (Welcome to New York)

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me (Welcome to New York)

So bright they never blind me (Welcome to New York)

Welcome to New York
