Lyrics of Welcome To New York by Taylor Swift

verse

Walking through a crowd, the village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn′t heard before
And it said

chorus

Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It′s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

verse

It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me

chorus

Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

verse

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and girls and girls

chorus

Welcome to New York
It′s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It′s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

verse

It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me

chorus

Welcome to New York (New York)
It′s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

verse

Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Like any real love, it's ever-changing
Like any true love, it drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn′t change anything, anything, anything

chorus

Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It′s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

verse

It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome to New York

chorus

New soundtrack
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome to New York
So bright, they never blind me
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Writer(s): Taylor Swift, Ryan B. Tedder
