Get It Back

That couple was a sight to see

Howling on the train passing canal street

Saw the sign on the platform missing a C

I elbowed you and winked

Haven’t laughed in a year or two

We cracked a couple cans on your neighbors stoop

Said this city’s gonna change you soon

Sounds nice, but where’s the proof

I hate to break your heart

But we lost our spark on the FDR

Watched it hail a cab

Blackening the lanes like a tire track

And we’re never gonna get it back

And we’re never gonna get it back

King cone from a yellow stand

Nate was holding on to my grass stained-hand

Eyes as big as a marching band

Walking through the zoo

Can we do this again tomorrow?

Nothing better, far as i know

The sky’s too bright the sky’s to blue

To sit all day in school

Tore my world apart

Scattering his ashes over Central Park

Cry when look back

Ribbons in my hair and a Wiffle bat

You taught me how to hit in a yankee hat

But the innocence is gone and thats on that

And im never gonna get it back

Never gonna get it back

Tore my world apart

Scattering his ashes over Central Park

Smile when look back

Ribbons in my hair and a Wiffle bat

You taught me how to hit in a yankee hat

But the innocence is gone and thats on that

And im never gonna get it back

Never gonna get it back

Never gonna get it back
