lyrics

San Francisco, can you talk a while with me / dive into the water, soaked by sun and surf whiskey on the beach / snuggle up until the sun is out of reach

Brooklyn, Brooklyn, can you call me when you can / I miss those busy streets just filled with every single color known to man / tagging bridges with a bright blue spray paint can

And if the water’s getting higher should I pick a place to land? / somewhere warm where I can learn to be a better man / and if the water’s getting rougher should I pick a lane and drive until I’m there?

Brooklyn, Brooklyn, I know you won’t let me in / those three words became hard to say and you asked me if we could still be friends / then you watched me burn the Verazzano Bridge

San Francisco, I gave you flowers for your hair / because I heard it in a song once from when skies were clear and fair and I was young / but my mind still sits uneasy on my tongue

if the water’s getting higher, what’s it matter where I land? / like a city’s gonna change the fact that I’m a broken man / and if the water’s getting rougher should I dig a trench and maybe learn to swim?

I find that San Francisco t-shirt / side by side with Brooklyn Stickers / listening to my West Coast playlist while buying East Coast Corridor tickets /

But I think the view’s all right / from where I’m sitting / I think I’ll be just fine / if I wait here for a minute / and I could waste all night / torn between two cities / but I should just sit tight / with pictures of Tokyo

I bought this just because of Twisting by Adult Mom ft. Scott McCaughey, but the rest of the album is really good. This came out in 2020 I don't know how I missed it. Dan Sexton
