I'm walking down Broadway Each footstep is a new love letter I'm trying to make eye contact With each and every stranger that I pass Thinking about the city It's living proof people need to be together I'm thinking about how I just want to open up And give and give and give And it's okay for you to care 'Cause I can feel you in the air And while you wonder, "How's this gonna end?" I only want it to begin I'm thinking about desire I've had to learn how to sin successfully I'm thinking about bliss and bliss is all dressed up And there's no one to dance with Remembering her smile and the nuclear bomb And the reasons I loved her Walking through Central Park I'm in a foreign country and I'm waiting for a sign That it's okay for you to care 'Cause I'm not going anywhere And while you wonder if you should let me in I only want it to begin I'm still singing Twisting new melodies, breaking arrangements Thinking about my heart I guess you've heard, sometimes it's heavy But I just keep moving When I hit a wall, I look up at the sky I'm thinking about my maker 'Cause despite all of this I know she won't give up on me And it's okay for you to care 'Cause I can taste you everywhere While it's true All straight things must bend I only want it to begin I only want it to begin I only want it to begin I only want it to begin
