New York, open your eyes to me
let me be what i want to be
tell me, tell me it's not too late
CHORUS:
big apple, takin' a bite of me
whole world movin' below my feet
not like, not like we do in L.A.
New York, make me a part of you
straight, straight through the heart of you
tell me, tell me it's not too late
flying high on the Empire State
flying high on the Empire State
New York, watch me burn ya' down
straight, straight through the heart of town
tell me, tell me i'm not too late
(repeat chorus)

Been the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain
Been scolded for stealing
Been told to behave
Been reading the forecast
Something's coming this way
But it's taking forever
I'm too tired to maintain that
I'm slow
Been a scratch on the surface
Been a clog in the drain
Been melodramatic
Been sleeping for days
Been one in a million
Been a million to one
This is taking forever
It always seems to return that
I'm slow
All hands up, salute the Empire State
Faith be true, you know the way
Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
Fallen walls all around
Destroyed again
Destroyed again
Been digging to China
Been a fish in the sea
Been talking to Jesus
He's not talking to me
Been reading the forecast
Something's coming this way
But it's taking forever
I'm too tired to maintain that
I'm slow
All hands up, salute the Empire State
Faith is true, she knows the way
Ten miles tall in this: an empty space
Fallen walls all around
We'll build again
Rebuild again
Been the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain
Been scolded for stealing

Hard as the kick in a young man's stride/I stabbed myself back into the night/One heel in front, one heel behind/Life in the Empire State...Angels and devils before my eyes/The palms of my hands hung by my side/Helpless I watched them destroy and divide/Life in the Empire State...Cold were my bones, warm was the fire, white was yr face cast to my mind/Bright as ever any light that shined/On Life in the Empire State Into the Void I roared in vain, what if the South's gonna do it again, promise you'll b by my side for the end Of Life in the Empire State... Shrug off the shifting weight of home/And hope that the Almight Anchor will hold/Was there room in yr heart for yr weakest son all along/Whistle sirens the Blind comin' on...No matter how lion-hearted my will I still stray beyond?I threw up my hands and swore I'd find more in yr arms/Was the Narrow Way there in our midst all along/Sounds like the empire State's comin' on...

The entire empire state, it couldnt hold me back
Cause I was driving away from the faces that I couldn’t even place
And that’s alright and that’s okay by me
And that’s alright and that’s okay by me
I've got a couple books on tape and a fresh pack of cigarettes
And if I think too much the words seem to disappear
So I’ll take you up on the ferris wheel and simply grab your hand
And that's alright and that’s okay by me
And that's alrght and that’s okay by me
I've got a couple books on tape and a fresh pack of cigarettes
