Wonderful

Have you ever walked the bridge
The one at the bottom of Manhattan?
It's always crowded
But when you look back you see the city
When you enter into Brooklyn

Oh weren't we wonderful
Oh weren't we perfect
I think we were everything
And I think we were worth it

Have you ever sat in the park
The one with the arch?
In the northwest corner
In the month that follows after march

Oh I know we are wonderful
I know we are perfect
I don't doubt we were everything
I know we were worth it

Maybe one day I’ll think of you
You'll think of me
While you're fast walking I'm slow walking
Way down there on 7th street

And when I pass any body of water
You'll be painted in red
Maybe even dancing
Skipping, singing, running ahead

I bite my nails
Until they’re jagged
And I scratch you in my sleep
You get so mad
Slap them away
When they reach my teeth

And won't you miss it
Won't I miss it
When you itch your skin subconsciously
Or when you yell at me
When I am sad
And I forget to breathe

Since we were wonderful
Oh we were perfect
You were my everything
Was I worth it?

And there is natural light on the 11th floor
Or 3rd or 5th
There's a gift under the tree
Which holds our promises

We're in the twin size mattress
The queen or king
Imprinted in the grass
Or hardwood floor we rolled around in

Wasn't it wonderful
Oh weren't we perfect
To be each other's everything
I think that it was worth it

You are a rose within the garden
The heat of a summer sun
A lake and rushing river
Our cacophony of love

We are still wonderful
Maybe not perfect
But I can say you were my everything
And know that you were worth it

Maybe spectacular
Even euphoric
Limitless, impossible
For us to both unlearn it
