Taylor Swift – Welcome To New York Lyrics

Walkin’ through a crowd, the village¹ is a glow²
Kaleidoscope of a loud, hide beats under coats³
Everybody here wanted somethin’ more⁴
Searchin’ for a sound we hadn’t heard before⁵
And it said

Welcome to New York⁶
It’s been waitin’ for you⁷
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It’s been waitin’ for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

It’s a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore⁸
The lights are so bright but they never blind me, me⁹
Welcome to New York
It’s been waitin’ for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts and put them in a drawer¹⁰
Everybody here was someone else before¹¹
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and girls and girls¹²

Welcome to New York
It’s been waitin’ for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It’s been waitin’ for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

It’s a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore
The lights are so bright but they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York (New York!)
It’s been waitin’ for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Like any real love, it’s ever-changing
Like any true love, it drives you crazy¹³
But you know you wouldn’t change anything, anything, anything

Welcome to New York
It’s been waitin’ for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It’s been waitin’ for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

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
New soundtrack
It’s been waitin’ 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 York¹⁴
