You say love is what you put into it 00:12

You say that I'm losing my will 00:17

Don't you know that you're all that I think about? 00:23

You make up a half of the whole 00:28

You say that it's hard to commit to it 00:35

You say that it's hard standing still 00:40

Don't you know that I spend all my nights 00:46

Counting backwards the days 'til I'm home? 00:51

If only New York wasn't so far away 00:55

I promise the city won't get in our way 01:01

When you're scared and alone 01:07

Just know that I'm already home 01:11

01:16

I say that we're right in the heart of it 01:21

A love only we understand 01:26

I will bend every light in this city 01:32

And make sure they're shining on you 01:37

If only New York wasn't so far away 01:42

I promise the city won't get in our way 01:48

And when you're scared and alone 01:53

Just know that I'm already home 01:57

02:02

When life takes its own course 02:07

Sometimes we just don't get to choose 02:13

I'd rather be there next to you 02:19

Promise you'll wait for me, wait for me 02:24

Wait 'til I'm home 02:28

02:34

All I have is this feeling inside of me 02:42

The only thing I've ever known 02:47

If only New York wasn't so far away 02:51

I promise the city won't get in our way 02:57

When you're scared and alone 03:03

Just know that I'm already home 03:07

Lyrics:

[English]

You say love is what you put into it

You say that I'm losing my will

Don't you know that you're all that I think about?

You make up a half of the whole

You say that it's hard to commit to it

You say that it's hard standing still

Don't you know that I spend all my nights

Counting backwards the days 'til I'm home?

If only New York wasn't so far away

I promise the city won't get in our way

When you're scared and alone

Just know that I'm already home

...

I say that we're right in the heart of it

A love only we understand

I will bend every light in this city

And make sure they're shining on you

If only New York wasn't so far away

I promise the city won't get in our way

And when you're scared and alone

Just know that I'm already home

...

When life takes its own course

Sometimes we just don't get to choose

I'd rather be there next to you

Promise you'll wait for me, wait for me

Wait 'til I'm home

...

All I have is this feeling inside of me

The only thing I've ever known

If only New York wasn't so far away

I promise the city won't get in our way

When you're scared and alone

Just know that I'm already home

If only New York wasn't so far away

I will be there every step of the way

And when you're scared and alone

Just know that I'm already home

...

Just know that I'm already home

...
