"Manhattan" lyrics

I could feel my heartbeat racing
Rumble of the train on the tracks
Walking by West 4th Station
Thinking this too shall pass

Like it was gonna happen regardless
Like it was all according to plan
I remember walk-up apartments
And every step that they had

I wished on a morning like this that I had you
I wished on a morning like this 'cause I had to

How do you carry a moment?
Pick up a year and just fold it
It's always near and you know it
You've always been where you're going

How does it all really happen?
A universe drawn on a napkin
I think that it's all everlasting
You fix and repair
'Cause you were just there
And like that now you're back in Manhattan

I wondered if a hundred blocks would
Help me redefine myself
I walked from 208 7th
To the Coney Island belt

Sigh and take a bow
It's all good now
It all worked out

How do you carry a moment?
Pick up a year and just fold it
It's always near and you know it
You've always been where you're going

How does it all really happen?
A universe drawn on a napkin
I think that it's all everlasting
You fix and repair
'Cause you were just there
And like that now you're back in Manhattan

That's how you carry a moment
Pick up a year and just fold it
It's always near and you know it
You've always been where you're going

How does it all really happen?
A universe drawn on a napkin
I think that it's all everlasting
You fix and repair
'Cause you were just there
And like that now you're back in Manhattan
