I tried to kiss you on the couch
sleepy lips moved heavy mouth and gave goodnight a try
goodnight but not goodbye
Showing off in case you look my way
though you seldom do
Old new york has a way
of reminding you
though I swore I'd never move to Brooklyn
My hypothetical next of kin
I'm sorry for the burden I'll surely leave behind
Strange indeed to be falling in love with a friend
You'd forgotten how your stomach folds and bends
and you're sixteen again
The girl with half a heart is twice as strong as anyone
She'll be in text books for her part in miracles done
this time by her own design
Well, I was born blue in the face but with heart in tact
So I won't cry of broken heart by point of fact
Oh, but when I think of you I'm still having trouble breathing.
My hypothetical next of kin
I'm sorry for the burden I'll surely leave behind
Strange indeed to be falling in love with a friend
You'd forgotten how your stomach folds and bends
and you're sixteen again
Did I know you much at all? Either way I wish you'd call just to say hello boy the getting on is slow
Did you find a boat and crew to take you on?
Will Northeastern leaves call you when summer's done?
Gee, I swore you said you'd move to Brooklyn
