The Blank Face of New York

It's been a lifetime in the making, spotlights never sleep The search stays on and runs you ragged, unless you criminals believe Bright lights hail attraction, youth burn out on their own There three rivers stand for trade, but here they stand for home She asked for me to go and see her off, but I couldn't leave my car Don't remember leaving, but she watched me leave her It might've been easier to hear her say I'm just not good enough Than to watch her leave here, I had to watch her leave here Now New York watches blankly Slide onto the railing, heels beyond the balcony She's looking for that crescent moon, maybe thinking of me too Settle into chaos, she's gotta be famous for everyone She needs acclaim from strangers, didn't come enough from me Must've blacked out but I'm still intact, don't remember where I drove But I still have that feeling, I won't forget that feeling I tried my best at the terminal, whatever and ever, amen Didn't make her stay here, I couldn't watch her stay here Now New York watches blankly Must've blacked out but I'm still intact, don't remember where I drove But I still have that feeling, I won't forget that feeling You know I tried my best not to let her go, but I had to see it through Couldn't make her stay here, I couldn't watch her stay here Now New York watches blankly New York watches blankly If it won't go the way you want I'll be here at home when you come home If it won't go the way you want I'll be here at home when you come home So when you coming home When you coming home
