Coney Island

I found the letter in the mailbox today

And I said thank you for your thoughts but I'm done

I said that I would never build this up right here

And he said that's why I can't work with you son

I can't let this go I'm on my way

And you can only hold my diamond ring

I go crawling back to the city I love

'Cause it's already taken everything

I'm going to Coney Island to have myself a dog

And reminisce why I still hate it here

It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes

It's so sweet now put the train in gear

I can't let this go I'm on my way

And you can only hold my diamond ring

I go crawling back to the city I love

'Cause it's already taken everything

The ground is swallowing my options for release

And if it rains they might just disappear

I counted twenty-seven birds up there today

I'm thinking that's why I still love it here

I'm thinking that's why I still love it here

I can't let this go I'm on my way

And you can only hold my diamond ring

I go crawling back to the city I love

'Cause it's already taken everything

'Cause it's already taken everything
