Lyrics:

We float above the recycling

And the catcalls

A prelude to the hardest

We will ever fall

No bar is too loud

No bar is too loud

No sidewalk’s too crowded

No stoop too well-lit

No head is too cloudy

For an East Village first kiss

Text me

Text me

Text me

Text me

Don’t forget

Don’t forget me

I will take out the recycling

And pick up the take out

While you stir a pair of Manhattans

And a mocktail

No child is too loud

No dinner’s too hurried

No morning too big

No future’s too blurry

For a South Brooklyn next kiss

So text me

Text me

Text me

Text me

Don’t forget

Don’t forget me
