Brooklyn Lyrics by Theo Katzman

Romance Without Finance

2011

I haven't even known you a day
[Verse 1]
Packed a book bag
Socks and sneakers, and dress shoes just in case
Sky bound for my home town
To the north shore on a Sunday
Gave a kiss to my lady friend
She's a sweet talk and a sweet taste
Gave thanks for my family
Thanks to my friends, I'm getting shit-faced
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh well
This Long Island, it's a desolate place
A far cry from my first love, Michigan
My sweet talk and my sweet taste
A long way from the long lost dreams
Left broken on a California freeway
This Brooklyn
Oh, Brooklyn...
[Chorus]
You make Detroit feel so far away
And I've only
Known you a day
I haven't even known you a day
True like New York, but you lie like L.A
And I've only
Known you a day
I haven't even known you a day
[Verse 2]
Hopped a south-bound train
From Bleecker to the Park Slope real estate
Looked around for a sit-down brunch
With all-you-can-eat poundcake
Found a few, maybe six or seven
Free coffee and free champagne
I hadn't seen such a free time living
Since my sixteenth birthday
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh well
This Long Island, it's a desolate place
A far cry from my first love, Michigan
My sweet talk and my sweet taste
A long way from the long lost dreams
Left broken on a California freeway
This Brooklyn
Oh, Brooklyn...
[Chorusx2]
You make Detroit feel so far away
And I've only
Known you a day
I haven't even known you a day
True like New York, but you lie like L.A
And I've only
Known you a day
I haven't even known you a day
You make Detroit feel so far away
And I've only
Known you a day
I haven't even known you a day
True like New York, but you lie like L.A
And I've only
Known you a day
I haven't even known you a day
[Outro]
Known you a day
I've only known you a day
Known you a day
Oh, I've only known you a day
Known you a day
Known you a day yeah
