NYC
We sold everything
And loaded up your car
Boxes and bags of clothes
And even your dog
We were headed east
Where the buildings tower tall
You and I
We had nothing but we had it all
And that's when I knew
And that's when I saw it
Oh, the look in your eyes
(Coming upon it)
We were halfway to New York City
Holding onto nothing but a dream
The world, it seems so easy
We were so young and naive
Oh-oh, you were looking at me
I was looking at you
That's how I knew when we were halfway to New York City
Oh, halfway to New York City
Oh yeah
We
The scripts and empty pockets
But the view was great
And the subway was hot
Unforgiving roads
And shattered hope
You and I
We had it all and then it was gone
And that's when I knew
And that's when I saw it
Oh, the look in your eyes
(Coming upon it[?])
We were halfway to New York City
Holding onto nothing but a dream
The world, it seems so easy
We were so young and naive
Oh-oh, you were looking at me
I was looking at you
That's how I knew when we were halfway to New York City
Oh, halfway to New York City
Oh yeah
Fighting through traffic
Fighting to find our way back home
Clutched hands, feelings
Feelings like we've never known
Skylines and sunsets
Nothing compared to your silhouette
Big dreams and big hearts
They had their chance
We were halfway to New York City
Holding onto nothing but a dream
(Nothing but a dream)
The world, it seems so easy
We were so young and naive
(We were so naive)
Oh-oh, you were looking at me
I was looking at you
That's how I knew (That's when I knew)
When we were halfway to New York City
(We were halfway to New York City)
Oh, halfway to New York City
Oh yeah
And loaded up your car
Boxes and bags of clothes
And even your dog
We were headed east
Where the buildings tower tall
You and I
We had nothing but we had it all
And that's when I knew
And that's when I saw it
Oh, the look in your eyes
(Coming upon it)
We were halfway to New York City
Holding onto nothing but a dream
The world, it seems so easy
We were so young and naive
Oh-oh, you were looking at me
I was looking at you
That's how I knew when we were halfway to New York City
Oh, halfway to New York City
Oh yeah
We
The scripts and empty pockets
But the view was great
And the subway was hot
Unforgiving roads
And shattered hope
You and I
We had it all and then it was gone
And that's when I knew
And that's when I saw it
Oh, the look in your eyes
(Coming upon it[?])
We were halfway to New York City
Holding onto nothing but a dream
The world, it seems so easy
We were so young and naive
Oh-oh, you were looking at me

Oh, halfway to New York City

When we were halfway to New York City
(We were halfway to New York City)
Oh, halfway to New York City
Oh yeah
