Say Don’t Go / Welcome To New York / Clean
[Part I: Say Don't Go]
[Verse]
I've known it from the very start
We’re a shot in the darkest dark
Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed
The waiting is a sadness
Fading into madness
Oh no, oh no, it won't stop
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m standing on a tightrope, alone
Hold my breath a little bit longer
Half-way out the door but it, won't close
I'm holding out hope for you to-
[Chorus]
Say, "Don't go,"
I would stay forever if you, say, "Don't go,"
Why'd you have to lead me on?
Why'd you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding
Why'd you whisper in the dark?
Just to leave me in the night
Now your silence has me screaming, screaming
[Post-Chorus]
Say, "Don’t go,"
I would stay forever if you, say, "Don’t go,"
[Outro]
But you won't, but you won’t, but you won't
So I'll go, I'll go, I’ll go to New York
[Part II: Welcome To New York]
[Verse]
Walking through the crowd, the village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before
[Chorus]
And it said "Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York"
[Post-Chorus]
Here'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
It's been waiting for you, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York"
[Part III: Clean]
[Verse]
The drought was the very worst
Ah-ah, ah-ah
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
'Cause months and months of back and forth
Ah-ah, ah-ah
You're still all over me, like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Hung my head as I lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm
[Chorus]
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
[Post-Chorus]
Said "I think I am finally clean"
Think I'm finally clean
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
[Bridge]
Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
Ten months older, I won't give in
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
[Verse]
The drought was the very worst
Ah-ah, ah-ah
When the flowers that'd we grown together died of thirst
[Chorus]
Oh, rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
The rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
[Post-Chorus]
Think I'm finally clean
I think I'm finally clean
