Somewhere in the coast of Fort Greene
Where the buildings stack up a little less and seemed so pretty
And I had never known to go, so I had never been
There was a young thing who dressed in blue just for me
Yeah she hung up my heart, rung it out, and beat it like a triangle
And that part of my brain that says you'd not love again it was gone
We walked a ways away from here
Through every open crosswalk she'd steer
And once in a while we'd slow ourselves a bit
Just enough to catch each other, catch each other on the lips
Well she found my warmth, let it be all hers to own
And though she held me with her hands, she wrapped her arms around my soul
But these things can't last, she said she had to go
And though she didn't want to, it was my heart that had to
But these things they never seem to last, I guess she had to go
And though I didn't want her to, if I had to choose, it's my heart I'd want to be broke
