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 and there’s no joy in the mending 
There’s so much this hurt can teach us both 
And there’s distance and there’s silence, your words have never left me 
They’re the prayer that I say every day 
 
Come on, come out, come here, come here 
Come on, come out, come here, come here 
Come on, come out, come here, come here 
Come on, come out, come here, come here 
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 
Of 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 
 
Come on, come out, come here, come here 
Come on, come out, come here, come here 
Come on, come out, come here, come here 
Come on, come out, come here, come here 
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 with a 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.
