[Verse 1]
You wear your scars so clean
Glass on the avenue
Bodega bags in your hands
And steam above your boots
I watch you never flinch
When the taxi horns cut through
You look expensive and wild
Like you made the whole block move
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull me in, pull me through
Past the gold and the grit
Every block says your name
And I want more of it
[Chorus]
Walk me through New York
Walk me through New York
Tall and raw and loud
I want it now, I want it now
Walk me through New York
Walk me through New York
You burn so bright somehow
I want it now, I want it now
[Verse 2]
Late trains rattle below
And your windows stay awake
I love the way you turn
Hard edges into grace
Crosswalks blink like they know
Every step you take
I’m lost in your pulse
And I don’t want escape
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull me in, pull me through
Past the gold and the grit
Every block says your name
And I want more of it
[Chorus]
Walk me through New York
Walk me through New York
Tall and raw and loud
I want it now, I want it now
Walk me through New York
Walk me through New York
You burn so bright somehow
I want it now, I want it now
[Bridge]
Let the whole town stare
I’m still right here
Under that hard-sweet shine
With nothing to fear
Take me where you go
Through the rush, through the hum
If you move, I move
Till the morning comes
[Final Chorus]
Walk me through New York
Walk me through New York
Tall and raw and loud
I want it now, I want it now
Walk me through New York
Walk me through New York
You burn so bright somehow
I want it now, I want it now
