Dance Me Through Manhattan is a dark, 1920's/Leonard Cohen inspired LOFI heartbreak song, written about a man who watches the love of his life move on and find love elsewhere, while he remains in the same place.

lyrics

Time flies for the unchained
January's gone by in flames
So now, lines cut your face
And days run like razor blades

You live and die for the full ride as a clot of chemicals
Like the ones that fuse to love you so, and I curse their longevity,
Because they just won’t tire.

You be free and smile
I’ll be down in New York
Whistling for a cab you rang back in ‘09
Back when you said
Dance me through manhattan
How could you forget?

Waiting, I’m waiting for the day that you cease to roam
You accept your faults and kick it on home

But, my cold blueberry nose
I got frostbitten bitter bones
My cold soul is exposed

You live and die for your whole life as a clot of chemicals
And I got ones that fuse to miss you so, curse their longevity!
Because they just won’t tire at all

So be free and smile
I’ll be down in New York
Whistling for a cab you rang back in ‘09
Back when you said
Dance me through manhattan
How could you forget?
