I was always going there

At least I always thought I was

Got no more time for failures

My time is up



Walkin' up 2nd Avenue, starin' at the walls

Thinkin' 'bout my angels and how they always call



The streets, they call me, but the people just turn away

And I've never felt so cold on such a beautiful day



Ah, but, the tide roll in, the tide roll out

It's nothing to laugh or cry about

Why does it take a lifetime to figure these things out



I just let go, I just let go and let this freedom fill my soul



Maybe I missed something

Something I should've seen

Maybe there's a reason

Why I carry around these dreams



Walkin' up 2nd Avenue, tears streamin' down my face

People look at me like I'm crazy

Man, I love this place



And late at night I can see St. Marks is bright

Every artist dream and bondage scene glows in the neon lights



Ah, but, the tide roll in, the tide roll out

It's nothing to laugh or cry about

Why does it take a lifetime to figure these things out



I just let go, I just let go and let this freedom fill my soul



Walkin' up 2nd Avenue, maybe for the very last time

Might just be walkin' up 2nd Avenue, but at least I'm still alive.
