Staten Island Ferry Lyrics by Gateway District

Partial Traces EP

2013

You used to meet me in the park at 2 for coffee
With your pockets full of stale bread for the birds
We would go out on the Staten Island ferry
To see the city as an undiscovered world
With a cold hard gaze
Of mortar mix and heartbreak
Yeah, that vacant way
These monuments decay
And with the sun down we'd talk over every detail
Of all the details that we always fail to see
When they're as obvious as statues in the water
Marking every wave that crests around their feet
With a cold hard gaze
Of mortar mix and heartbreak
Yeah, that vacant way
These monuments decay
I know it's stupid that this city feels like
Somewhere with no place left to go
Somedays every crowded sidewalk seems to lead right
To somewhere that reminds you you're alone
