This city’s heart has a beat,
I’m buried underneath.
Asphalt and stale nicotine
As words won’t come to me
I took my lower east side blues
And I watched them board the 5 with you.
When you left rainy manhattan
You knew this love was yours to lose.

I’ve been up all night,
I’ve got demons to fight.
When everything I’ve ever known
Is starting to grow cold.
I’ve been up all day,
This love is fading away.
Won’t you leave me like you found me,
Won’t you let me fall back into place?

“I love the way you move,”
She leans in to whisper.
The whiskey takes her away,
And I begin to miss you
I took my lower east side blues
And I watched them board the 5 with you.
I’m stuck in rainy manhattan
She’s got me tight and she won’t let me lose.

I’ve been up all night,
I’ve got demons to fight.
When everything I know,
Is is starting to grow cold.
I’ve been up all night,
You know damn well why.
I’m lost on little west st. In a town that isn’t mine
But I’m where I need to be,
So lost but feeling free.
As the sun comes up I finally see
I should have never let you carry me.

I’ve been up all night,
I’ve got demons to fight.
When everything I’ve ever known
Is starting to grow cold.
I’ve been up all day,
This love is fading away.
Won’t you leave me like you found me,
Won’t you let me fall back into place?
