Artist: R.E.M.
Song: leaving new york
Year: 2004
It's quiet now and what it brings
Is everything
Comes calling back, a brilliant night
I'm still awake
I looked ahead
I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me to tell you now
That nothing can compare
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden a frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the light fading out
Now life is sweet and what it brings
I tried to take
But loneliness, it wears me out
It lies in way
And all not lost, still in my eyes
The shadow of necklace across your thigh
I might have lived my life in a dream
But I swear, this is real
Memory fuses and shatters like glass
Mercurial future, forget the past
It's you, it's what I feel
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden a frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the light fading out
You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
You find it in your heart, change
I told you forever
I love you forever
I told you, I love you
I love you forever
I told you forever
I love you forever
I told you, I love you
I love you forever
You never, you never
You told me forever
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden the frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the life fading out
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the light fading out
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the life fading out
