Do you think I'm still the girl that I was?
The one who couldn't be alone much
Oh honey, I'm different, or something like that
You call me like no time has gone by
Five years, but you still sound like that night
Before I had reasons to go on that flight
You wanted plain, I wanted New York (New York)
So I got away and I let you go
But still there is a silhouette
But still there is a silhouette
I think I see you across the street from my window
At the bar by the table, by the door to my bedroom
I think I see you outside the store by the corner
At the bridge by the water, on the train to the city
I think it is what I fear, I think I wish you were here
(Wish you were here, wish you were here)
I thought I would be better at us
Than flip the switch to shut it all off
When all of these feelings come crashing like this
You wanted plain, I wanted New York (New York)
And when I got away, did I let you go?
Still there is a silhouette
Still there is a silhouette
I think I see you across the street from my window
At the bar by the table, by the door to my bedroom
I think I see you outside the store by the corner
At the bridge by the water, on the train to the city
I think it is what I fear, I think I wish you were here
(Wish you were here)
I think it is what I fear, I think I wish you were here
(Wish you were here, wish you were here)
Guess I've been so good at denying it
But all I've been doing is thinking of you, you
And I've been lying to myself
'Cause all I've been doing is thinking of you
And I think I see you across the street from my window
At the bar by the table, by the door to my bedroom
I think I see you outside the store by the corner
At the bridge by the water, on the train to the city
I think it is what I fear, I think I wish you were here
(Wish you were here)
I think it is what I fear, I think I wish you were here
I think it is what I fear, I think I wish you were here
