Leaving New York
R.E.M.
Letra

It's quiet now and what it brings is everything
comes calling back a brilliant night
im still awake i looked ahead
i'm sure i saw you there
you dont need me to tell you now
that nothing can compare
Chorus
you might've laughed if i told you
you might have hidden your frown
you might've succeeded in changing me
i might've 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
the loneliness it wears me out
it lies in wake
and all i've lost you're in my eyes
shatter a necklace across your thighs
i might've lived my life in a dream
but i swear it's real
and you refuse, and it shatters like glass
mercurial future forget the past
but it's you it's what i feel
Chorus
you might've laughed if i told you
you might have hidden your frown
you might've succeeded in changing me
i might've 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
Find it in your heart it's pulling me apart
find it in your heart it's pulling me apart
I told you forever i love you forever
i told you forever i love you forever
i told you forever i love you forever
i told you forever i love you forever
Chorus
you might've laughed if i told you
you might have hidden your frown
you might've succeeded in changing me
i might've 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
Leaving new yorl never easy
i saw the light fading out
