Lyrics

Intro

Midnight

Still moving

Still building

New York never really shuts down

Verse 1

Two in the morning and the trains still run

Rain on the avenue, night ain't done

Lights in the windows, deals in the air

Everybody chasing something somewhere

Taxi lights blur through the puddles below

Steam from the street where the cold winds blow

Terry on the corner with the collar turned high

One ear on the city, one eye on the sky

No rush

No panic

Just watching it breathe

The city keeps secrets it never really leaves

Some chase numbers

Some chase names

Some chase status

Some chase fame

But Terry keeps walking through the gold-lit streets

Same old city with a different heartbeat

Chorus

City never sleeps

City never slows

Rain on the pavement

Everybody knows

Something always moving

Something underneath

New York keeps talking

Even when nobody speaks

City never sleeps

Neither do the dreams

Gold lights in the windows

Steam between the streets

Verse 2

Brooklyn bridge glowing in the rearview frame

Everybody here got a reason they came

Some came broke

Some came bold

Some came young

Some came old

Everybody got a story

Everybody got a plan

Everybody wants a little more than where they stand

Terry don't judge where the story begins

He watches what you build and who you bring in

Quiet confidence

No need to perform

New York made different people weather the storm

Bridge

Late train

Cold rain

Streetlight

No fame

Still here

Still moving

Still building

Still proving

Final Chorus

City never sleeps

City never slows

Rain on the pavement

Everybody knows

Something always moving

Something underneath

New York keeps talking

Even when nobody speaks

City never sleeps

Neither do the dreams

Same city

Same ledger

Different possibilities

Outro

Four in the morning

Sky turning blue

City still awake

Terry is too
