Lucky Street Songtext / Lyric

And I watched the Atlantic Ocean rise to meet New York

And everyone involved got way too scared

That life was way too short

And we all sang songs about things we'd take back

If given the chance again



And I'd never seen the sky a sadder shade of gray

And I thought about the words I told you

And others I forgot to say

So just tell me that you'll hold my hand

We'll stand together here in New York sand



'Cause we're all just chasing red balloons

As our sky falls to the ground

And the ocean rises up

And you refuse to make a sound



And everybody falls

And then sways as if to beats

Except for you and me

We've got promises to keep here on Lucky Street






So many faces that I'd hope to soon forget

They're all just pushing and kicking and screaming

In a panicked mournful fit

Everyone's fighting for just north of here

But you're just south and baby, I'm so scared



'Cause we're all just chasing red balloons

As our sky falls to the ground

And the ocean rises up

And you refuse to make a sound



And everybody falls

And then sways as if to beats

Except for you and me

We've got promises to keep here on Lucky Street



We're all just chasing red balloons

As our sky falls to the ground

And the ocean rises up

The ocean rises up



We're all just chasing red balloons

As our sky falls to the ground

And the ocean rises up

And you refuse to make a sound



And everybody falls

And then sways as if to beats

Except for you and me

We've got promises to keep here on Lucky Street
