Jake Willis - Long Before Manhattan lyrics

That weekend in the fall, I took you to my hometown That first real hint of cold that day looks an omen now I said you were the one for me My momma fell in love with you A simple mystical time But not every dream comes true Sometimes it’s unexpected when the wheels fall off And just because you didn’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen And you can keep on lying to yourself Go on and write me off but that was long before Manhattan Driving from that town, I knew you were falling And if I said I wasn’t too, you’d know that I was lying I couldn’t breathe with you around just your existence would amaze me But soon I couldn’t breath with you around Couldn’t keep up with your amount of emotional energy Chorus Maybe I did run scared Maybe I wasn’t fair Maybe I still get nostalgic too Maybe I can be honest enough To admit that I do miss you Maybe I second guess it all But maybe I got it right Maybe we’re both better off far away from each other’s lives Sometimes it’s unexpected when the wheels fall off And just because I thought I saw doesn’t mean I wish I hadn’t And I could keep on lying to myself Go on and write me off, but we could not survive Manhattan
