Lyrics

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.
