Back to Manhattan

Taking the bridge back to Manhattan
It's black on the river
The sun is still setting

Bicycles flying down the incline to Brooklyn
They're in the homestretch
But our path is just staring
We went to a movie now we're gonna break up
But I haven't told you
Cause the walk's 40 minutes
It's black on the water
But it's still beyond us
The streets just behind us
It's steep and we've started

Taking the bridge back to Manhattan
It's black on the river
And the sun is still setting

Bicycles flying down the incline to Brooklyn
They're in the homestretch
But our path is just starting
I'm sleeping alone back in Manhattan
But that'll be later if I make it happen
The air's so romantic
But the big graffiti says suck dick
While the night drifts so gently
The sadness between us taking the bridge
Back to Manhattan it's black on the river
And the sun is done setting

Bicycles riding
Towards the incline to Brooklyn
Now we're up on the river
In the middle of nothing
Some girls are magic for some other person
Know that you're worth it
But I'm still not that person
You liked me this morning
By midnight you'll hate me
Everyone's fragile you're better off angry

Taking the bridge back to Manhattan
It's black on the river
And the sun is done setting

Bicycles working
Towards the incline to Brooklyn
Now we're up on the river
And the city is nearer
My life in Brooklyn's behind me
And the days are behind me
When I hold on to something
So I wouldn't have nothing the days up ahead
Are back in downtown Manhattan
Passing bored kids on skateboards
And Hasids with strollers taking the bridge
Back to Manhattan
There's one or two stars now
That's the best we can do here

The buildings are shifting
It looks like Akira the river's behind us
The streets are below us
Some garbage is flying
Two trains are criss-crossing
It's dark and were talking
But now you're mostly quiet
I guess I'm done taking
Here come the joggers
We're in the homestretch
But their path is just starting

We took the bridge back to Manhattan
There were lights on the water
And the evening was over

It wasn't that easy but it wasn't too hard
We walked on together we walked off alone
Now you're on the subway
I'm out on a warm night
And most of the people
Look boring in Manhattan
I guess I'll go home now
Past old couples at midnight
They're in the homestretch
But our path is just starting
