Woke up around 2AM in a hotel bed
Through the car windows, the moonlight bled
Driving through the early morning fog once again
Down to the airport to see a long lost friend
Took her out for coffee and we talked for a while
And we kissed, hugged and laughed as we said goodbye
Driving back to the hotel, I thought about what we said
And falling back asleep, I wondered if i'd see her again
I carry my lover to the edge of the city
Where people drown to serve and the weather's not as sh**ty
We'll drag each other across the street, then onto the subway
Staring out the window and waiting for some rain
And I know there's no sun behind those clouds
And nothing is out to get me now
I feel warm when you're by my side
And nothing is out to change my mind
She says she misses San Francisco and I miss Seattle
Because the haze of the morning makes my mind a little less addled
And even when I think I clearly, I still can't see the light
I'm just blindly catching snowflakes drifting through the night
But I know there's no sun behind those clouds
And nobody's out to get me now
I feel safe when you stay by my side
And no hand could ever break yours from mine
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, UH-NA-NEE-NA-NA-NA-NUHH, DUH-DUH-DOO-DUH-DUH
All the time, at every stretch
I see still people in moving images
And as I go, it's plain to see
There's no one down there waiting for me
Down in NYC
And that's reality...
