jens lekman - on a pier, on the hudson lyrics

[jens lekman]
new york city’s a reflection of how you feel
if your heart is full, you’ll feel the warm pavement under your heels
but if your heart is empty, it’s just a pile of concrete and steel
a desert where nothing blooms, a graveyard for dreams

[matilda sargren]
we find a pier on the hudson, as far out as we can go
my mind still repeats the word “obsolete” from the song you wrote
i know you didn’t mean to, but the song made me feel old
for you the river the stands still, your dreams fulfilled
for me it’s just started to flow

[jens lekman & matilda sargren]
if you don’t want to go backwards
why can’t i go forwards with you?
how can you leave the door open
and tell me not to walk through?
tell me not to walk through

[jens lekman & matilda sargren]
i hate this, i hate this more than anything
i know, i do too
no, you don’t, if you hated it wouldn’t be happening
i know that’s true
tell me you love me, tell me you want me
in your life again
i can tell you the first, but not the second

[matilda sargren]
see the lights on the other side
i saw them on tv when i was a child
in the darkness i grew up in
when the tv was my only light
i never dreamt i would get here
even less, this could be my life
and now it’s like a spell
i’ve become someone else
someone who has to travel light

[jens lekman & matilda sargren]
i don’t want to go backwards
but i can’t go forwards with you
whoever i’m turning into
whatever i have to do
i don’t want to go backwards
but i can’t go forwards with you
those are my last words
that’s all i can give you
that’s all i can give you
[jens lekman]
and that’s how you leave me standing
you order a cab and go
you let me hug you and i
should refuse but i don’t
and behind the new york skyline
the tsar bomba explodes
i imagine the heatwave approaching
how it swallows me whole
