The American Scene - 4th and Broadway lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Keepin' track of time at Fourth and Broadway

And I've been waitin' twenty six years for someone to tell me that I'm

That I'm not really goin' to die, this time

And why it's only ever hard for me to change when I really want to

(Chorus)

I couldn't call you so I was smokin'

Cigarettes on our front porch last night

I was thinkin' bout the night we

Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina

And we talked each other down

And we talked each other down

(Verse 2)

Calm and careful, sleepin' off you leavin'

And I've been numbering the days

This one's draggin' on and on and what I'm tryin' here to say is

I'm not quite as suited to takin' care of me as I try to make it seem

When you're around

(Chorus)

I couldn't call you so I was smokin'

Cigarettes on our front porch last night

I was thinkin' bout the night we

Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina

And we talked each other down

And we talked each other down

(Bridge x2)

Keeping track of time

In the same place I was last night

In the same place I was, in the same place I was -

(Chorus)

I couldn't call you so I was smokin'

Cigarettes on our front porch last night

I was thinkin' bout the night we

Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina

And we talked each other down

And we talked each other down
