You say dont worry, Ill be fine 

Well the tears on your face tell me other wise 

Its your unanswered questions that I cant explain 

But Ill keep fighting for you 

Instead of crying youd rather sing 

Only the lighter notes of this symphony 

So Ill protect you, I wont let you fall 

And Ill keep fighting for you 

So wont you take my hand tonight 

And lets leave this town before it gets too late 

Hey, I see city lights up ahead 

New York has never been so bright 

We were kids, what did we almost know? 

That in the end wed follow through? 

Your voice was strained from alcohol 

Yet, I understood every word 

You said hey boy, its not too late 

For you to come and take me away 

Matter of fact, Id rather leave right now 

Cause Im tired of walking with the crowd 

Its strange to see what youve become 

When I think about leaving New York 

Its a city of dreams that I always dreamed 

That I could be a part of
