Brooklyn Lyrics by Kodaline

Politics of Living

2018

[Verse 1]
I woke up miles away from home
In a cheap hotel, I was on my own
Across the bridge, I could see the lights of Brooklyn
The traffic on those New York streets
The yellow taxis underneath
The shadows of the ever-growing skyline

[Chorus]
I'm a hundred thousand miles away
From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay
But there ain't no place I'd rather be than Brooklyn
Oh, Brooklyn

[Verse 2]
And out my window, I can see
A homeless man with cardboard sheets
As people go 'bout their daily business
But nothing's ever as it seems
In this growing land of broken dreams
It's dog-eat-dog and nothing lasts forever

[Chorus]
And I'm a hundred thousand miles away
From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay
But there ain't no place I'd rather be than Brooklyn
Oh, Brooklyn
Yeah, Brooklyn
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
And I'm a hundred thousand miles away
From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay
But there ain't no place I'd rather be
Than Brooklyn, oh, Brooklyn

[Outro]
I'm a hundred thousand miles away
From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay
(There ain't no place I'd rather be)
I'm a hundred thousand miles away
From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay
I'm a hundred thousand miles away
From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay
But there ain't no place I'd rather be
There ain't no place I'd rather be
Than Brooklyn
Oh, Brooklyn, yeah
