FLOATING BLUE

I thought of you for a New York minute again
Stepping out in the freezing rain
Fruit stand vampire watching me as I
Sneak a drink on the subway train

And it's all we could do
And the darkest nights are always blue
At least for you

I'm floating out in the Rockaways
Not a care in my mind
I'd rather surf to a watery grave than ever
Leave those thoughts of you behind

And it's all we could do
And the darkest nights are always blue
At least for you

You take the boy out of New York
You never take it out of me
You take the boy out of New York
Ahhh-ah!
You never take it out of me

I flew the coop at a young age
I cut my own hair now
All the pigeons over Starr Street
Find their way home somehow

And it's all we can do
When you're falling just enjoy the view
It's all we can do

I thought of you while I was doing laundry
A perfect time to overthink
I wonder what you'd do if you saw me
All my whites are turning pink

And it's all we could do
And the darkest nights are always blue
At least for you

You take the boy out of New York
You never take it out of me
You take the boy out of New York
Ahhh-ah!
You never take it out of me
