Brooklyn Can Wait

Check the mail, go outside
Has your package arrived
New heart and a clean set of eyes
Trying to give love one more try
Make sure you're there to sign
The Postman Always Rings Twice

You can reinvent yourself in the city
Watch the sunrise on the high rise 'cause you stayed up that late
Let all the strangers call you pretty
But don't get old too quick, Brooklyn can wait
Brooklyn can wait

Watch the window and the rain
See, you're reflecting on the pane
Imagine the water drops race
Down the glass to make their escape
You must be jealous but hey
You stand out, they're all the same

You can move away from home but it'll miss you
We both know that's the reason you can't escape
Take some time before it takes you
It'll still be there tomorrow, Brooklyn can wait
Brooklyn can wait

Wishing things were different, doesn't mean they're gonna change
But it sure doesn't mean they ain't
Just ask any of your mistakes
Brooklyn can wait
Brooklyn can wait

You can reinvent yourself in the city
See how long it takes the new heart to break
The new eyes look good but they can't see
You'll still be with yourself even when you're away
Brooklyn can wait
Brooklyn can wait
Brooklyn can wait
