I found a letter in the mail box today And I said thank you for your thoughts but I'm done I said that I would never build this up right here He said that's why I can't work with you son But I can't let this go I'm on my way And you can only hold my diamond ring I'll go crawling back to the city I love Cause it's already taken everything I'm going to Coney Island have myself a dog And reminisce why I still hate it here It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes It's so sweet now put the train in gear I can't let this go I'm on my way And you can only hold my diamond ring I'll go crawling back to the city I love Cause it's already taken everything The ground is swallowing my options for release And if it rains they might just disappear I counted 27 birds up there today I'm thinking that's why I still love it here I'm thinking that's why I still love it here I can't let this go I'm on my way And you can only hold my diamond ring I'll go crawling back to the city I love Cause it's already taken everything
