East End from Girls by Dizzy Bats

Little girl, why don't you call out to Jersey City
Just a train to separate
This filthy river
Think she could swim
Across to him
He'd sink to Hell
She'd float on right back towards herself

On this side I have it all with notes and love and laughter
I still long for the East End and 82nd
Does she still cry
Through jealous eyes
Does she still drink
Through bottled wine and shattered glass

Why couldn't you just wait here
And count up all the times you scared me
I wish that I could take it back

I'll wonder if you're lonely
And sort it out when I'm in therapy
Just to start it all again

Record these songs just to escape
From the thoughts she stars in
Reality is cast aside
No time for sadness

What says the shrink
About these dreams
Let's write them down
In the form of a song and ask

Why are there tears
Almost been a year and I know
I'm better off without you here

I hope that you hear these three words from me
I apologize for the nights you'd weep
I was so obsessed with those Brooklyn lights
Forgot what you meant to me I lied
