Well the Empire State is gleaming And it's a perfect Friday night Hold me down Cause I am feeling high as a kite Cause I'm not living for the landing Tonight I'm living for the flight Don't wanna capture this moment I just wanna let it go
Cause in a world so full of troubles I think we've seen enough And they'll still be here tomorrow When the sun comes up
In a cab that crosses Brooklyn I'll be your stolen pirate bride And I still feel like I am falling When I look in your eyes And in the dunes at Coney Island Will you kiss me on the lips like it was the first time And I will pretend to resist
Cause in a world so full of troubles I think that we've seen enough And they'll still be here tomorrow When the sun comes up
So will you hold me until we crumble Under a dying August moon Buy me an old-fashioned root beer Cause one day the old world will lose And we'll go dancing on the levy With the sun beneath our feet Cause time passes with such violence We're just heart beats on a sea
Cause in a world so full of troubles I think that we've seen enough And they'll still be here tomorrow When the sun comes up
