NYC (The Way Out) lyrics - Charli XCX

All alone on a city high

In New York in the dead of night

We can't swim, we're about to drown

All alone in a famous town

We always knew we never would survive

Protect ourselves and hide out in denial

We on the way, on the way out (We, we, we, we)

We on the way, on the way out (On the way, way out)

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

No oxygen left in our hearts

Goin' down and we felt the pain

But we're lookin' cool, sinkin' in the chain

We feel the same as we fall apart

Out here in the blue with the lights behind us

Shot us in our backs but we keep on ridin'

I don't wanna go and the lights are blinding

We always knew we never would survive (Survive)

Protect ourselves and hide out in denial

We on the way, on the way out (We, we, we, we)

We on the way, on the way out (On the way, way out)

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

We always knew we never would survive (Survive)

Protect ourselves and hide out in denial

We on the way, on the way out (We, we, we, we)

We on the way, on the way out (On the way, way out)

We always knew we never would survive

Protect ourselves and hide out in denial

We on the way, on the way out (We, we, we, we)

We on the way, on the way out (On the way, way out)

All alone on a city high

In New York and the dead of night
