We Ran Through New York City

from SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION by Advrb

/

lyrics

the train looked like it was moving backwards
we were surrounded by voices and stale smells
so we moved four rows to four seats facing forwards
and out the window of the gliding jail cell
we saw a castle in the water up on a hill;
a fortress from the revolutionary way
the revolutionary war!
the concert was the perfect get-away
we’d all forgotten how looking at the looming buildings
is like holding a parent’s hand when you are small
we ran through new york city and we
jumped on every bench that we found
we ran through
jumped on every bench that we found
the lampposts in the spooky park held real flames
i looked at myself across the subway car and realized that
“i’m in new york city and this night will not end
until we’re back in vermont and snug in our beds”
