Only Avenues Songtext
von All the Luck in the World

In a book shop above Waverly, the subway underneath made itself known
An apocalyptic nod to remind us both of our size and we left as soon as it arrived
But the feeling it did not subside until you said

If one thing is true, that can′t belittle me and you
For an empty train is nothing but hollow and headed nowhere
Without my home or yours to go to, we're only avenues
We′re only avenues


Halfway down the high line, I'm questioning my contributions
Only writing to cross out
Air exhaled as second hand smoke
At the very least, I'm casting a shadow
I′m casting a shadow

But if it weren′t for the light pollution, I think this city might really suit you
But that overarching incandescent problem would always spoil the view

We're only avenues
We′re only avenues
We're only avenues
We′re only avenues
We're only avenues
We′re only avenues
We're only avenues
We're only avenues
