This Manhattan man Says I miss Manhattan, man And if you don't understand, that's fine with me But if I could see Manhattan, man I'd scream Manhattan, man If I could do it all again, I'd do it here Before you laid me down to rest, I'd do it all here I heard someone say The problem with people today Is they don't allow themselves mistakes But you must not forget The source of most regret Is chances you never chose to take What better place to make mistakes Than an island already filled with heartbreaks? Tell me once again about The dreams you had when we were kids Tonight might be my night to reminisce Everyone around is in a rush just to be found Without ever getting lost Soon it will be fall And once I hear you call I'll play that Billie Holiday But the moment couldn't last The song goes by so fast And you'll be back in school again Just leave me in this perfect town Don't even turn your head around Just leave me in this perfect town To stay And tell me once again about The dreams you had when we were kids Tonight might be my night to reminisce Everyone around is in a rush just to be found Without ever getting lost Tell me once again about The dreams you had when we were kids Tonight might be my night to reminisce Everyone around is in a rush just to be found Without ever getting lost
