Well the Empire State is gleaming
And it's a perfect Friday night
Hold me down
Cause I am feeling high as a kite
Cause I'm not living for the landing
Tonight I'm living for the flight
Don't wanna capture this moment
I just wanna let it go
Cause in a world so full of troubles
I think we've seen enough
And they'll still be here tomorrow
When the sun comes up
In a cab that crosses Brooklyn
I'll be your stolen pirate bride
And I still feel like I am falling
When I look in your eyes
And in the dunes at Coney Island
Will you kiss me on the lips like it was the first time
And I will pretend to resist
Cause in a world so full of troubles
I think that we've seen enough
And they'll still be here tomorrow
When the sun comes up
So will you hold me until we crumble
Under a dying August moon
Buy me an old-fashioned root beer
Cause one day the old world will lose
And we'll go dancing on the levy
With the sun beneath our feet
Cause time pa**es with such violence
We're just heart beats on a sea
Cause in a world so full of troubles
I think that we've seen enough
And they'll still be here tomorrow
When the sun comes up
