"Late Night Running Through New York" lyrics
And when the last rush has gone
There's somewhere I'm still holding on
To who I was in your spotlight
And the little piece I left behind
And when the last train has left
I feel a tightness in my chest
For every door that I kept closed
Another life I'll never know
With my heart half broken
I'm keeping my mind half open
I'm falling for New York
Hoping you're lost in it too
I was 17 in attitude, oh
17, nothing to lose
I got to meet the girl that I once knew
And in a blur of sleepless nights
I knew I was on borrowed time
I just wanted to be somebody new
Late night running through New York
We're lying on the sidewalk
Listening to sad songs
Spilling all my feelings
Hoping you believe them
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
Late night running through New York
So sick of all the small talk
Listening to sad songs
Drinking cheap tequila
Spilling all our feelings
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
It wasn't perfect, but it felt like mine
Standing soaking wet in a taxi line, hmm-mm
And it was worth it just to feel alive
And on those empty streets I was almost mine
And I could leave it all behind
For the very first time
No rent, no rules
I'm at the payphone on my last dime
And I'm staring so hard at the exit sign
Didn't care what I looked like, I danced in the dark
And cried in the bathroom till I felt apart
You picked up the pieces like you always do
I guess a part of you knew
I was 17 in attitude, oh
17, nothing to lose
I got to meet the girl that I once knew
And in a blur of sleepless nights
I knew I was on borrowed time
I just wanted to be somebody new
Late night running through New York
We're lying on the sidewalk
Listening to sad songs
Spilling all my feelings
Hoping you believe them
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
Late night running through New York
So sick of all the small talk
Listening to sad songs
Drinking cheap tequila
Spilling all our feelings
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
And if I'm gonna cry, better cry hard
And if I'm gonna fall, better fast
And if I'm gonna risk it all, then I'll risk it all
And if I'm gonna cry, better cry hard
And if I'm gonna fall, better fast
And if I'm gonna risk it all, then I'll risk it all
I was 17 in attitude, oh
17, nothing to lose
I got to meet the girl that I once knew
And in a blur of sleepless nights
I knew I was on borrowed time
I just wanted to be somebody new
There's somewhere I'm still holding on
To who I was in your spotlight
And the little piece I left behind
And when the last train has left
I feel a tightness in my chest
For every door that I kept closed
Another life I'll never know
With my heart half broken
I'm keeping my mind half open
I'm falling for New York
Hoping you're lost in it too
I was 17 in attitude, oh
17, nothing to lose
I got to meet the girl that I once knew
And in a blur of sleepless nights
I knew I was on borrowed time
I just wanted to be somebody new
Late night running through New York
We're lying on the sidewalk
Listening to sad songs
Spilling all my feelings
Hoping you believe them
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
Late night running through New York
So sick of all the small talk
Listening to sad songs
Drinking cheap tequila
Spilling all our feelings
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
It wasn't perfect, but it felt like mine
Standing soaking wet in a taxi line, hmm-mm
And it was worth it just to feel alive
And on those empty streets I was almost mine
And I could leave it all behind
For the very first time

And I'm staring so hard at the exit sign
Didn't care what I looked like, I danced in the dark

Listening to sad songs

Hoping you believe them
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
Late night running through New York
So sick of all the small talk
Listening to sad songs
Drinking cheap tequila
Spilling all our feelings
Love drunk, but it felt like freedom
And if I'm gonna cry, better cry hard
And if I'm gonna fall, better fast
And if I'm gonna risk it all, then I'll risk it all
And if I'm gonna cry, better cry hard
And if I'm gonna fall, better fast
And if I'm gonna risk it all, then I'll risk it all
I was 17 in attitude, oh
17, nothing to lose
I got to meet the girl that I once knew
And in a blur of sleepless nights
I knew I was on borrowed time
I just wanted to be somebody new
