Brooklyn Nights

[Verse 1]

I always thought it was you

You always thought it was me

We always thought we were it

Seemed like a real perfect fit

Those Brooklyn nights set us free

I always thought even though

We were so young, we could grow

Up in the end, it'd be us

We'd take the F by the bus

Where Brooklyn nights set us free

[Chorus]

It's not that I don't wanna love you (Wanna love you)

It's not that I'm really over it, you know (You know)

It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death

When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy

[Verse 2]

I missed our cheap chandelier

'Member when dad hung it there?

And we would watch Rocky IV

The one where the Russians scored?

I love Briggite Nielsen's hair

I'd call you my champion

Thought we had already won

And cracked open the last beer

Falling asleep in our tears

Those Brooklyn nights set us free

[Chorus]

It's not that I don't wanna love you (Wanna love you)

It's not that I'm really over it, you know (You know)

It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death

When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy

[Bridge]

I found an old pair of keys in my purse

That opened the walk up we shared

How did they get there, jerk?

I wanna see you there, I wanna make it work (Make it work)

I didn't brush my hair and my lashes are falling off

Of seven years of our bad luck dating

I want one last night there, a Brooklyn night affair

A Brooklyn night affair

[Chorus]

It's not that I don't wanna love you (Wanna love you)

It's not that I'm really over it, you know (You know)

It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death

When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy

[Outro]

It's not that I don't wanna love you 'cause I really tried and I

Just wanna hang with the old you

For just one Brooklyn night, adieu

Have a drink with your former self

We both won't act like someone else

Maybe then we'll both tell the truth

For just one Brooklyn night, adieu
