lyrics

Crossing Atlantic Avenue
Retracing my steps back home from you
Halfway to the other side
The flashing hand solidifies
And I watch the trucks roll through

Crossing Atlantic Avenue
(I never want to go home I never want to go home)
Could not be the hardest thing I’ll do
(But I will do it alone I will do it alone)

And when I’m back in bed in Bed-Stuy
I will relive the short goodbye
Trying to read your palm
Pretending the life line’s long
And I didn’t live mine wrong
And that I really tried

I thought it could be something more than a mistake we made twice in our lives
But now I can see I was feeding my heartache, grabbing and twisting the knife
I needed something warm and you’re gone
I needed something
I’m not cold- I’ll leave the heater on
Till the morning comes

Crossing Atlantic Avenue
(I never want to go home I never want to go home)
Could not be the hardest thing I’ll do
(But I will do it alone I will do it alone)

And in a year I’ll have forgotten
I ever even let you in
Trying to read your palm
Pretending the life line’s long
And I didn’t live mine wrong
And I don’t see the end

I thought it could be something more than a mistake we made twice in our lives
But now I can see I was feeding my heartache, grabbing and twisting the knife
I needed something warm and you’re gone
I needed something
I’m not cold- I’ll leave the heater on
Till the morning comes
