Lyrics for Song: Manhattan 
Lyrics for Album: The Blessed Unrest [2013]
  
               
  31585>You can have Manhattan
  I know it's for the best
  I'll gather up the avenues
  And leave them on your doorstep
  And I'll tip toe away
  So you won't have to say
  You heard me leave
 
 
  You can have Manhattan
  I know it's what you want
  The bustle and the buildings
  The weather in the fall
  And I'll bow out of place
  To save you some space
  For somebody new
  You can have Manhattan
  'Cause I can't have you
 
 
  Ahhhhh
 
 
  You can have Manhattan
  The one we used to share
  The one where we were laughing
  And drunk on just being there
  Hang on to the reverie
  Could you do that for me?
  'Cause I'm just too sad to
  You can have Manhattan
  'Cause I can't have you
 
 
  And so it goes
  One foot after the other
  'Til black and white begin to color in
  And I know that holding us in place
  Is simply fear of what's already changed
 
 
  Ahhhhh
 
 
  You can have Manhattan
  I'll settle for the beach
  The sunsets facing westward
  With sand beneath my feet
  I'll wish this away
  Just missing the days
  When I was one half of two
  You can have Manhattan
  'Cause I can't have you
