I and Love and You

Load the car and write the note

Grab your bag and grab your coat

Tell the ones that need to know

We are headed north.

One foot in and one foot back

But it don't pay to live like that

So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks

For never to return.

Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

Are you aware the shape I'm in

My hands they shake my head it spins

Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in.

When at first I learned to speak

I used all my words to fight

With him and her and you and me

Oh but it's just a waste of time

Yeah it's such a waste of time.

That woman she's got eyes that shine

Like a pair of stolen polished dimes

She asked to dance I said it's fine

I'll see you in the morning time.

Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

Are you aware the shape im in

My hands they shake my head it spins

Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in.

Three words that became hard to say

I and love and you

What you were then, I am today

Look at the things I do.

Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

Are you aware the shape I'm in

My hands they shake my head it spins

Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in.

Dumbed down and numbed by time and age

Your dreams to catch the world, the cage

The highway sets the traveler's stage

All exits look the same.

Three words that became hard to say

I and love and you

I and love and you

I and love and you.
