I'm leaving next week
I'm skyscraper high and subway deep
New York City is big and I'm so weak
But I got a friend who'll be with me
She's the type of which I've never known
But the kind I'd like to get to know better
Are you catching what I mean
It's just a simple line
It's such a simple thing
But my words get shakey
And my legs get weak
I'm tripping over my tongue
It seems you've got me walking on my knees
I hope this will be worth our wait
And that this plane ticket wasn't booked too late
But it's okay if you don't want to do, to do today
But if you're gonna be in town, I'm asking you to stay
You're the kind of girl I've never known
But the kind I think I could grow to love
Are you catching what I mean
It's such a simple line
It's such a simple thing
But my words get shakey
And my legs get weak
I'm tripping over my tongue
It seems you've got me walking on my knees
I think you're catching what I mean
I hope that you can finally see
It's such a simple line
It's such a simple thing
My words get shakey
My legs get weak
My tongue is down at my feet
And I'm falling, falling for you
Will you catch me before I fall
Just before I trip
Just before I crawl
Cause my words are getting shakey
And my legs are getting weak
I'm falling over my tongue
It's seems I'm falling for you
'I'm skyscraper high and subway deep' I liked that. I can really identify with this poem and could also hear it as a song in my head. I also liked the repeated stanza. It was very effective.
