New York City
Paul Van Dyk And Starkillers & Austin Leeds Feat. Ashley Tomberlin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watch the sky turn black to blush
Head still spinning from the rush
Of all the things I did the night before

And looking down from my hotel
These dawn-lit streets begin to fill
With memories of you and I
On a New York City night

On a New York City night

I shake my head to clear the sounds
The traffic horns, the growing crowd
The sun awaking over central park

But still it creeps beneath my skin
All of these heartbeats in the din
With concrete dreams stirring to life
On a New York City night
On a New York City night

And I take it with me when I leave
The crowded skyline, the energy
The sleepless city always leaves its mark

Just close my eyes and I'm back again
The neon flush upon our skin
Still wrapped in thoughts of love and wine

On a New York City night
On a New York City night

Line by Line Meaning

I watch the sky turn black to blush
I observed the sky changing from black to pinkish-orange color as the dawn approaches

Head still spinning from the rush
I still feel dizzy and overwhelmed from the excitement and thrill of the previous night

Of all the things I did the night before
I recall all the activities and experiences I had during the previous night

And looking down from my hotel
I am staring down from my hotel room window

These dawn-lit streets begin to fill
The streets are gradually becoming crowded with people as the sun rises

With memories of you and I
I am reminiscing about the moments spent with my loved one

On a New York City night
Specifically on a night spent in New York City

I shake my head to clear the sounds
I am shaking my head to remove the noises that are echoing in my ears

The traffic horns, the growing crowd
The sound of car horns and the increasing number of people on the street pierce my ears

The sun awaking over central park
The sun is rising over the Central Park

But still it creeps beneath my skin
However, the intense atmosphere of the city remains within me

All of these heartbeats in the din
I can feel the rhythm of many heartbeats in the noisy surroundings

With concrete dreams stirring to life
The dreams of people from all walks of life are beginning to take shape

Just close my eyes and I'm back again
I can easily transport myself back to that New York City night by simply closing my eyes

The neon flush upon our skin
The neon lights reflect on our skin

Still wrapped in thoughts of love and wine
My mind is still filled with memories of love and the taste of wine

On a New York City night
Again, on that specific night spent in New York City

On a New York City night
And once more, on that magical night in the grand city of New York.
