New York Lyrics

From the shores of the mediterranean
All the way to new york city
It's bloody expensive to live in that town
And I found out the hard way
But I almost had it all

Was it washington square
Or the way you wore your hair
Was it central park
Or kissing after dark
Guess i'll never know
Not sure I even care
But my heart will always live
With you and me there

But I can't afford to live in new york city
Ah ah ah
And she can't afford to leave
Ah ah
I can't afford to live in new york city
Ah ah ah
And she can't afford to leave

But god I miss her

Was it the sea port in june
Or your face by the moon
Was it soho's charm
Or you and I arm in arm
Was it the six train uptown
Or true love that I found
It all blends into one
When I think of you now

And I can't afford to live in new york city
Ah ah ah
And she can't afford to leave
Ah ah
I can't afford to live in new york city
Ah ah ah
And she can't afford to leave

Well I know that a promise is to keep
But money's tight and i've been losing sleep
Old man circumstance will have his way it's true
But what I wouldn't give to stay here with you

But I can't afford to live in new york city
Ah ah ah
And she can't afford to leave
Ah ah
I can't afford to live in new york city
Ah ah ah
And she can't afford to leave

And i've never been good at goodbyes
But goodbyes are all I have
And I can't afford to live in new york city
And i'm pulling outta here
Is there anything I can say
To make you change your mind
