Brooklyn Lyrics by Emily James

Illuminate

2021

[Verse 1]
I wanna meet you in a crowded bar in Brooklyn
Dance all night 'til there's fairy light on my face
I wanna see you and make shadows with our footsteps
In a crowded bar in Brooklyn
I wanna kiss you, would that be okay now with you?
Take our time 'cause the night's got nowhere to go
And in the morning we'll remember where we stood there
On an empty street in Brooklyn
[Chorus]
And so it goes, I'll write a note, stick it in your pocket
Walk me home to my fourth-floor walkup
Whisper in my neck not to let go yet, oh, when
When I'm alone, I'll hold you like a locket
Next to my hеart where you'll nevеr get lost as
We go through moments we don't know yet, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I wanna wake up in my sheets and in your T-shirt
See the sunlight sprinkling gold, oh it glows through your eyes
But until then, I'll watch it set over the West End
Send my love to you in Brooklyn
[Chorus]
And so it goes, I'll write a note, stick it in my pocket
Think of you in a fourth-floor walkup
Whisper to myself not to let go yet (Don't let go yet), oh, and
For now, I'll hold you close like a locket
Next to my heart where you'll never get lost and
Go through all the motions of the moments we don't know yet
[Bridge]
Mmm, mmm
(Moments we don't know yet, don't let go)
(Moments we don't know yet, don't let go)
Don't let go (Don't let go yet), wanna let go, wanna let go
[Outro]
I wanna meet you in a crowded bar in Brooklyn
Know it's you from the moment you look my way
I wanna see you and let it fall into slow motion
In a crowded bar in Brooklyn
