Floating through avenues
Just a place to be, be a part of
Alone again with you
Breathe it in, cough it out
Bend an ear to scream and you hear shouts
I sold myself to you
♪
A line forms outside of Katz's
Tourists snake around the bend
A man shakes a cup rhythmically
My wandering eyes blink again and again
Because it's easy to come by
Much harder to let it go
I said it's easy to come by
Much harder to let it go
Corner store, shuttered down
Save the dimes they have for the turnaround
They need you more than me
Spoken out, written down
Just a storied vision of the downtown
When will I start to see?
Look up and ask, this day, where does it go?
I sold myself to you
Breathe it in, cough it out
It's a place to be, can you hear now?
Alone again with you
Calvin's ad on houston
Falafel man sitting in a cart underneath
A Cricket game blares from his phone
Soda cans sweat in the August heat
Because it's easy to come by
Much harder to let it go
It's easy to come by
And much harder to let it go
I was thrown in as it is
So it goes and so it's been
Better to see, picture of
Don't take from it, I know you can
You were so inside it all
Like how we stare at the road
Blame it all, cover up
Just waiting, starting, hoping to begin
I don't think it's a noun
Face down, look for it again
Stare out, sitting down
I just won't say, "No, not here"
Right now, looking out, down
You see truth right there
Pick it up, put it down
You look for it again
♪
It's easy to come by
Harder to let it go
You're harder to let it go
It's easy to come by
You're hard to let it go
You're hard to let it go
Hard to let it go
