next thing you know - manhattan bridge lyrics

[lisa]

i can still remember that cool day in september
my first trip on the subway, across the manhattan bridge
i looked outside and could not believe my eyes
then i looked around, and much to my surprise
no one else was looking at the bridge, the statue, the sky
no one else was looking and i could not imagine why

i sat and stared unblinking and got around to thinking that these people just don’t recognize the view they miss each day
so i took it in, and i took it in again
it made me smile
i made a promise then, that the day i stopped looking at the way it all seem to glow
the day that i stopped looking was the day that i should go
so every day from that day on i took the time to stop and look
i’d wake myself up from a nap, or take a short break from my book
but today on the subway, after fighting for my seat
i started reading at dekalb, and didn’t look up ’til c+n+l street

i blinked to clear my vision
thought back on my decision
to up and leave the city the day i missed the view
it’s harder now than i thought it would have been
did the city break me down, or simply break me in?
today’s when i stopped looking, at this place, like it was all new
today’s the day that i stopped looking, so now, what do i do?

do i stay, or do i leave, and change up the view
