On a rooftop in Brooklyn
|
At one in the morning
|
Watching the lights flash
|
In Manhattan
|
|
I see fire bridges
|
The Empire State Building
|
And you said something
|
That I've never forgotten
|
|
We lean against railings
|
Describing the colors
|
And the smells of our homelands
|
Acting like lovers
|
|
How did we get here
|
To this point of living
|
I held my breath
|
You said something
|
|
And I'm doing nothing wrong
|
Riding in you car
|
The radio playing
|
We sing up to the eighth floor
|
|
On a rooftop Manhattan
|
One in the morning
|
You said something
|
That I've never forgotten
|
|
You said something
|
You said something
|
You said something
|
That was really important
|
|
