I can't remember what I planned tomorrow
I can't remember when it's time to go
When I look in the mirror
Tracing lines with a pencil
I remember what came before

I wanted to think there was endless love
Until I saw the light dim in your eyes
In the dead of the night I found out
Sometimes there's love that won't survive

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
Such a beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

Laura kept all her disappointments
Locked up in a box behind her closet door
She pulled the blinds
and listened to the thunder
With no way out from the family store

We all told her things could get better
When you just say goodbye
I'll lay awake one more night
Caught in a vision I want to deny
And did I mention the note that I found

Taped to my locked front door
It talked about no regrets
As it slipped from my hand
to the scuffed tile floor

I rode the train for hours on end
And watched the people pass me by
It could be that it has no end
Just an action junkie's lullaby

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
Such a beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

New York City
We were full of the stuff
that every dream rested
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky
Caught up in the whole illusion

That dreams never pass us by
Came to a tattoed conclusion
That the big one was knocking on the door
What started as a mass delusion
Would take me far from the place I adore

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
You are my beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

And Aubrey was her name
A not so very ordinary girl or name
But who's to blame for a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Take away the words that rhyme
It doesn't mean a thing

And Aubrey was her name
We triped the light and danced togther to the moon,
But where was June no it never came around
If it did it never made a sound
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast
Catching all the words
But then the meaning going past

But god I miss the girl
And I'd go a thousand times around the world
Just to be closer the her than to me


And Aubrey was her name
I never new her, but I loved her just the same
I loved her name
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
If I can't have the one I want
I'll do without the best

But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world
just to say she had been mine for a day
