Manhattan

So here it goes

The last song I wrote

The word I hear over and over again

Hallelujah

My suitcase is packed

Got a handful of cash

Just enough for the fare on the next passing cab

Hallelujah

So now I leave for Manhattan

On the next train

The next bus, the next plane

I will leave for Manhattan

Wish you would hold me back

You letter did say

Promising names

And I believed in what we had

Good and bad

No regret

Hallelujah

I've given it all

To watch it all fall

So they say this is life

Let it go

Let it stay

Either way

Hallelujah

So now I leave for Manhattan

On the next train

The next bus, the next plane

I will leave for Manhattan

Wish you would hold me back

It's cold in the night

You'll reach and I'm not there

And you'll tell yourself to not be scared

No, you cannot be scared

'Cause I gave you my heart

And you're letting it go

And the only last thing that I want you to know

Is I have to leave

'Cause you're letting me go

So now I leave, yes I leave

I leave for Manhattan

On the next train

The next bus, the next plane

I will leave for Manhattan

Wish you would hold

So now I leave for Manhattan

On the next train

The next bus, the next plane

I will leave for Manhattan

Wish you would hold me back

Me back
