Brooklyn Nights Lyrics

I always thought it was you
You always thought it was me
We always thought we were it
Seemed like a perfect fit
Those Brooklyn nights set us free

I always thought even though
We were so young we could grow
Up in the end, it'd be us
We'd take the F by the bus
Where Brooklyn nights set us free

It's not that I don't wanna love you
It's not that I'm really over it, you know, you know
It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death
When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy

I miss our cheap chandelier
'Member when dad hung it there
And we would watch Rocky 4
The one where the Russian scored
I love Bridgitte Neilsen's hair

I'd call you my champion
Thought we had already won
We cracked open our last beer
Falling asleep in our tears
Those Brooklyn nights set us free

It's not that I don't wanna love you
It's not that I'm really over it, you know, you know It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death
When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy

I found an old pair of keys in my purse
That opened the walk up we shared
How did they get there, jerk
I wanna see you there
I wanna make it work

I didn't brush my hair and my lashes are falling
Off of seven years of our bad luck dating
I want one last night there
A Brooklyn night affair
A Brooklyn night affair

It's not that I don't wanna love you
It's not that I'm really over it, you know, you know
It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death
When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy

It's not that I don't wanna love you
'Cause I really tried and I
Just wanna stay with the old you
For just one Brooklyn night adieu
Have a drink with your former self
We both won't act like someone else
Maybe then we'd both tell the truth
For just one Brooklyn night adieu
