Spring Street

Vanessa Carlton

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah
Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah

I was heading down to Spring Street with a suitcase in my hand 
Filled with love and life and grand illusion,
I knew you'd understand 
I left you by the stairwell
And your eyes were wet with tears 
Mother you knew you had to let me go,
Even after all these years 

And we sing 
Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah
She said 
Nah-nah-nahnah nah nah nah
Walk on 
Nah-nah nah, nah, nah nah nah
You're alright
Nah-nah, nah, nah nah nah nah

And I found myself a new life 
I've been living with some friends 
We hold on to dreams and live like kings,
Like the days will never end 
I left him by the statue and his eyes were filled with tears 
Lover you knew you had to let me go 
Even after all these years 
And we sing 

Nah-nahnah-nah nah nah nah
He said 
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Walk on 
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah 
You're alright 
Nah-nah, nah, nah nah nah nah

Everything changes friends become strangers 
What we hold so dear slips away 
The past keeps on fading,
But I'll never forget you 
It's hard to see that you're a part of me 
Even when we have to say 

Nah-nah, nah, nah,nah nah nah 
Walk on 
Nah-nah, nah, nah nah nah nah nah
We sing 
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Well alright 
Nah-nah, nah, nah nah nah nah 

And I moved out of the city 
To start a family of my own 
When I look into my daughter's eyes,
I don't feel so alone
And as I walk her down to Spring Street 
She holds on to my hand 
Mother you knew my eyes would be wet with tears and now I understand 

Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
And I said 
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Walk on 
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Thank you 
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Walk on,
You're alright 
Can't hold on 
Nah-nah,nah, nah, nah nah nah
