Karaoké Leaving New York R.E.M.

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 you 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 lights fading out

And life is sweet and what it brings

I tried to take

But loneliness it wears me out it lies in wait

And all I've lost still in my eyes

The shadow of necklace across your thigh

I might've lived my life in a dream but I swear this is real

Memory fuses and the shatters like glass

Mercurial future forget the past but it's you, it's what I feel

You might have laughed if I told you

You might have hidden you 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 lights 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 and ever

You might have laughed if I told you

You might have hidden you 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 lights fading out

Leaving New York never easy

I saw the light fading out

Leaving New York never easy

I saw the lights fading out
