  • Walkin' through a crowd, the village is aglow
    Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
    Everybody here wanted somethin' more
    Searchin' for a sound we hadn't heard before
    And it said

    Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
    Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
    Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
    Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
    It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore
    The lights are so bright, but they never blind me, me
    Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' 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 waitin' for you
    Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
    Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
    Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
    It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore
    The lights are so bright, but they never blind me, me
    Welcome to New York (New York), it's been waitin' 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 waitin' for you
    Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
    Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' 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 waitin' 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
