And I watched the Atlantic Ocean rise to meet New York

And everyone involved got way too scared that life was way too short

And we all sang songs about things we'd take back if given the chance, again



And I'd never seen the sky a sadder shade of gray

And I thought about the words I told you and others I forgot to say

So just tell me that you'll hold my hand

We'll stand together here in New York sand



Cause we're all just chasing red balloons as our sky falls to the ground

And the ocean rises up and you refuse to make a sound

And everybody falls and then sways as if to beats

Except for you and me, we've got promises to keep here on Lucky Street



So many faces that I'd hope to soon forget

They're all just pushing and kicking and screaming in a panicked mournful fit

Everyone's fighting for just north of here

But you're just south and baby I'm so scared
