My mind burnt out like stardust
On December one
You stood there in the hallway
Like moonlight on the run
You said 'if the lights go out on New York
The lights go out on us'
And in seconds it was over
Like stardust into rust
Didn't know your number
I didn't even know your name
But I'll be calling you from New York
And hoping you feel the same
And if the lights go out on New York
The lights go out on us
In seconds it will be over
Like stardust into rust
Losing sleep to lucid dreams
When I'm walking in a field
You were there, your wicked soul
Wandering to me
You haven't called and it's been hours
You haven't written or sent flowers
Oh God, did you think that
It might just be too hard?
Oh God, did you think that
Or did you know it from the start?
Didn't know your number
I didn't even know your name
But I'll be calling you from New York
And hoping you feel the same
And if the lights go out on New York
The lights go out on us
In seconds it will be over
Like stardust into rust
