Song lyrics

If I could open my arms
And span the length
Of the isle of Manhattan,
I'd bring it to where you are,
Making a lake
Of the East River and Hudson.

If I could open my mouth
Wide enough for
A marching band to march out,
They would make your name sing,
And bend through alleys,
And bounce off other buildings...

I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions
At the same time,
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware
Of what was around you...

And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit
In my own head,
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds
To let the light in...

Sorrow drips into your heart
Through a pinhole,
Just like a faucet that leaks
And there is comfort in the sound,
But while you debate
Half empty or half full,
It slowly rises,
Your love is gonna drown,
Your love is gonna drown...
