​​n y l a Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're in New York, I'm in L.A
I drive to work, you take the train
My heart – it burns, yes it burns, yes it burns
We're oceans away
I'll be asleep at the time you're awake
By the time you're awake

[Chorus]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to LA (From New York to L.A.)
I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to LA, 'til you stay

('til you'll stay, 'til you'll stay)
'Til you stay…
You're in New York…

[Verse 2]
I'm in LA, you're in New York
I missed you today
So bad that it hurt
My heart – it burns, yes it burns
2800 miles away
And I'll be asleep at the time you're awake
So I'm callin' to say
[Chorus]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to L.A. I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to L.A. 'til you'll stay

You'll stay…

[Bridge]
You feel the same
Do you feel the same?

[Chorus]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to L.A
I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to LA, 'til you'll stay

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
