[Verse 1]
I can't explain it
This yearning feeling
There's no escaping
Keeps creeping back in
'Round every corner
Every stone turned over
Maybe I'm meant to be in
New York

[Verse 2]
There's someone out there
Inside the mirror
Her plan is grand and
Her mind is clearer
Behind the curtain
Living a life I want to
Maybe I'm meant to be in
New York
New York
New York

[Chorus]
Oh, where the future's bright
The grass looks so much greenеr under neon lights
Oh, wherе the seasons change
And everyone goes west to beat the cold

[Verse 3]
The ground beneath me
Is always shaking
The roads have cracks and
The sidewalk's breaking
And should the big one
Send the palm trees falling
I'd feel much safer out in
New York

[Chorus]
Oh, out there, I'll find myself
See how all my things look on a different shelf
Oh, I will have my own place
And someone down the hall who also calls it home

[Outro]
I can't explain it
This yearning feeling
I didn't choose it
It didn't choose me
'Round every corner
Every stone turned over
Is telling me to go to
New York
Maybe I'll find myself in
New York
Maybe I'm meant to be in
New York
