Manhattan
You can have ManhattanI know it’s for the bestI’ll gather up the avenuesAnd leave them on your doorstepAnd I’ll tip toe awaySo you won’t have to sayYou heard me leave
You can have ManhattanI know it’s what you wantThe bustle and the buildingsThe weather in the fallAnd I’ll bow out of placeTo save you some spaceFor somebody new
You can have ManhattanCause I can’t have you
Ahhhhh
You can have ManhattanThe one we used to shareThe one where we were laughingAnd drunk on just being thereHang on to the reverieCould you do that for me?Cause I’m just too sad to
You can have ManhattanCause I can’t have you
And so it goesOne foot after the otherTil black and white begin to color inAnd I knowThat holding us in placeIs simply fear of what’s already changed
Ahhhhh
You can have ManhattanI’ll settle for the beachAnd sunsets facing westwardWith sand beneath my feetI’ll wish this awayJust missing the daysWhen I was one half of twoYou can have ManhattanCause I can’t have you
