"Staten Island Ferry (2012 Demo)" lyrics

You used to meet me in the park, at 2 for coffee
With your pockets full of stale bread for the birds
And we would go out on the Staten Island ferry
To see the city as an undiscovered world

With the cold hard gaze
Of mortar mix and heartbreak
Yeah, that vacant way
These monuments decay

And with the sun down, we'd talk over every detail
Of all the details that we always fail to see
When they're as obvious as statues in the water
Marking every wave that crests around their feet

With the cold hard gaze
Of mortar mix and heartbreak
Yeah, that vacant way
These monuments decay
