If you were here beside me 
Instead of in New York 
If the curve of you was curved on me 
I'd tell you that I loved you 
Before I even knew you 
Cause I loved the simple thought of you 

If our hearts are never broken 
Well there's no joy in the mending 
There's so much this hurt can teach us both
Though there's distance and there's silence 
Your words have never left me 
They're the prayer that I say every day.  [bad word] on [bad word] out [bad word] here [bad word] here [4x]

The lone neon lights
And the heat of the ocean 
And the fire that was starting to spark 
I miss it all, from the love to the lightning 
And the lack of it snaps, me in two 

If you were here beside me 
Instead of in New York 
In the arms you said you'd never leave 
I'd tell you that it's simple 
And it was only ever thus 
There is nowhere else that I belong [bad word] on [bad word] out [bad word] here [bad word] here [4x]

The lone neon lights
And the heat of the ocean 
And the fire that was starting to spark 
I miss it all from the love to the lightning 
And the lack of it snaps, me in two 
Just give me a sign 
There's an end and not beginning 
To the quiet chaos driving me back 

The lone neon lights
And the warmth of the ocean 
And the fire that was starting to go out.
