Brooklyn Lyrics

If you go up too Brooklyn

Hope you're thinking of me still

If it snows in the city

Does it remind you of the hills

When we had the whole world

In the palm of our freezing hands

But the city can never love you the way that I can

So I'm just a rose through the crack in the cobblestone

And you're the whole damn skyline

You're a forest fire too

And you know that I'd take any version of you

If you go up to Brooklyn

Ha, Ha, Ha

If you go, if you go, if you go

Ha, Ha, Ha

If you go, if you go, if you go

Here the lights are all off

And everybody has gone home

And I paint the wall in the imprint of your shadow

So where do you go when you're off to Neverland

Well the city can never know you the way that I can

It was an easier question when we kept the curtain closed

The way that I loved you when nobody had to know

Now I need you here and I can't stop talking bout it

And I fear that I've found something and I can't live without it

If you go, if you go, if you go

If you go, if you go, if you go

Cause now I picture you with another girl you met upstate

And your taking her to your apartment

Don't you think it's getting late

You run your hands over her cheek, like she's the one thing you adore

But what happens when the city doesn't love you no more
