Lyrics:

\\n

We float above the recycling

\\n

And the catcalls

\\n

A prelude to the hardest

\\n

We will ever fall

\\n

\\n

No bar is too loud

\\n

\\n

No bar is too loud

\\n

No sidewalk\\u2019s too crowded

\\n

No stoop too well-lit

\\n

No head is too cloudy

\\n

For an East Village first kiss

\\n

\\n

Text me

\\n

Text me

\\n

Text me

\\n

Text me

\\n

Don\\u2019t forget

\\n

Don\\u2019t forget me

\\n

\\n

I will take out the recycling

\\n

And pick up the take out

\\n

While you stir a pair of Manhattans

\\n

And a mocktail

\\n

\\n

No child is too loud

\\n

No dinner\\u2019s too hurried

\\n

No morning too big

\\n

No future\\u2019s too blurry

\\n

For a South Brooklyn next kiss

\\n

\\n

So text me

\\n

Text me

\\n

Text me

\\n

Text me

\\n

Don\\u2019t forget

\\n

Don\\u2019t forget me
