Begin

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
