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
