(Haven't even known you a day)
Packed a bookbag, socks and sneakers, and dress shoes just in case
Sky bound for my home town, to the north shore on a Sunday
Gave a kiss to my lady friend, she's a sweet talk and a sweet taste
Gave thanks for my family, thanks to my friends, I'm getting shit-faced, oh well
This Long Island, it's a desolate place
A far cry from my first love, Michigan sweet talk, and my sweet taste
A long way from the long lost dreams, left broken on a California freeway
This Brooklyn
Oh, Brooklyn
You make Detroit feel so far away
And I've only known you a day
(I haven't even known you a day) yeah, yeah, yeah
True like New York, but you lie like L.A.
And I've only known you a day
(I haven't even known you a day)
Hopped a southbound train from Bleecker to the Park Slope real estate
Looked around for a sit-down brunch with all-you-can-eat poundcake
Found a few, maybe six or seven, free coffee and free champagne
I haven't seen such a free time living since my sixteenth birthday, yeah oh well
This Long Island, it's a desolate place
A far cry from my first love, Michigan sweet talk, and my sweet taste
A long way from the long lost dreams, left broken on a California freeway
This Brooklyn
Oh, Brooklyn, yeah
You make Detroit feel so far away
And I've only known you a day
(I haven't even known you a day) yeah, yeah, yeah
True like New York, but you lie like L.A.
And I've only known you a day
(I haven't even known you a day)
Woah, you make Detroit feel so far away
And I've only known you a day
I haven't even known you a day, yeah, yeah, yeah
True like New York, but you lie like L.A.
And I've only known you a day
I haven't even known you a day
Known you a day
I've only known you a day
Known you a day
Ooh, I've only known you a day
Known you a day
Known you a day, yeah
