So here it goes, the last song I wrote The word I hear over and over again, hallelujah Suitcases packed Got a handful of cash Just enough for the fare on the next passing cab, hallelujah
So now I leave for Manhattan On the next train, the next bus, the next plane I'm in leave for Manhattan Wish you would hold me back
You letter did say Promising names And I believed in what we had, good and bad, no regret Hallelujah
I've given it all to watch it all fall So they say this is life Let it go, let it stay, either way Hallelujah
So now I leave for Manhattan On the next train, the next bus, the next plane I'm in leave for Manhattan Wish you would hold me back
It's cold in the night You'll reach and I'm not there And you'll tell yourself to not be scared No, you cannot be scared 'Cause I gave you my heart and you're letting it go And the only last thing that I want you to know Is I have to leave 'cause you're letting me go
So now I leave, yes I leave I leave for Manhattan On the next train, the next bus, the next plane I'm in leave for Manhattan Wish you would hold
So now I leave for Manhattan On the next train, the next bus, the next plane I am in leave for Manhattan Wish you would hold me back Me back
