City That Never Sleeps

Waitin' on the corner for a bus that never comes
Walkin' 18 blocks to save a dime
It’s been a long time coming, a long time waiting, to make the uphill climb
Now I’m running, sprinting faster to the top
Adding up the tips from walking dogs and serving booze
Waiting 7 hours to sing the 16 bars, you get to choose
And it’s the only think you can control, when they decide who gets the role
But it’s what I’ve always dreamed of, this girl is fallin' in love
It’s a topsy, turvy feelin' in the city
It’s a rush of joy just walkin' down the street
It’s a C train runnin' downtown on a schedule no one knows
It’s the constant change of stayin' on my toes
But I’m finally callin' keeps, cause I’m fallin' in love with the city that
never sleeps
Left behind a lifestyle that was structure that was planned
Every moment drawn out like a map
But when nothing changes no one grows, and I’m the only one who really knows
what I’m capable of
Now I’m falling in love
Ooh, yeah
It’s a topsy, turvy feelin' in the city
It’s a rush of joy just walkin' down the street
It’s a C train runnin' downtown on a schedule no one knows
It’s the constant change of stayin' on my toes
But I’m finally callin' keeps, cause I’m fallin' in love with the city that
never sleeps
And one day when I’m older, no matter the burden I shoulder I’ll be.
Brighter and bolder, as smart as this city that’s now a part of me
And maybe I’ll move away, buy a big house someday, start a family
And the years may fly by, but I’ll never forget, those life-changing nights
without sleep
It’s a topsy, turvy feelin' in the city
It’s a rush of joy just walkin' down the street
It’s a C train runnin' downtown on a schedule no one knows
It’s the constant change of stayin' on my toes
But I’m finally callin' keeps
Cause I’m fallin' in love
Fallin'
In love
Yes, I’m fallin' in love
Fallin'
In love
With the city that never sleeps
