One block out of Tompkins Square And two blocks where Astor Place ends This coffee shop employee looks just like Erlend Øye And someday we could probably be friends Sometimes there's a grander design I'll leave with no discernible end Flying back and forth from the driftless north Until I see you somewhere again Freeze frame from the subway train And marvel at the scale of it all At Bushwick Inlet Park The sky growing dark I'll be somewhere else in the fall Some songs might help you along In trying times of rapid decline The autobiographic way to get through the day And tell you that I need you mine Browsing floors inside a crowded store I know we can't afford Next time in New York We've seen it all before I'd do it again Love like yours it leaves me out of sorts And I need nothing more Next time in New York We've seen it all before The view at the end Browsing floors inside a crowded store I know we can't afford Next time in New York We've seen it all before I'd do it again Love like yours it leaves me out of sorts And I need nothing more Next time in New York
