REM - Leaving New York Lyrics
It's quiet nowAnd what it bringsIs everythingComes calling backA brilliant nightI'm still awakeI looked aheadI'm sure I saw you thereYou don't need meTo tell you nowThat nothing can compareYou might have laughed if I told youYou might have hidden A frownYou might have succeeded in changing meI might have been turned aroundIt's easier to leave than to be left behindLeaving was never my proudLeaving New York, never easyI saw the light fading outNow life is sweetAnd what it bringsI tried to takeBut lonelinessIt wears me outIt lies in wayAnd all not lostStill in my eyesThe shadow of necklaceAcross your thighI might've lived my life in a dream, but I swearThis is realMemory fuses and shatters like glassMercurial future, forget the pastIt's you, it's what I feel.You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)You might have hidden a frown (change)You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)I might have been turned around (change)It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)Leaving was never my proud (change)Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)I saw the light fading outYou find it in your heart, it's pulling me apartYou find it in your heart, change...I told you, foreverI love you, foreverI told you, I love youI love you, foreverI told you, foreverYou never, you neverYou told me foreverYou might have laughed if I told youYou might have hidden the frownYou might have succeeded in changing meI might have been turned aroundIt's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)Leaving was never my proud (change)Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)I saw the life fading out (change)Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)I saw the light fading out (change)Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)I saw the life fading out (change)
