Begin

I'm walking down Broadway

Each footstep is a new love letter

I'm trying to make eye contact

With each and every stranger that I pass

I'm thinking about the city

It's living proof people need to be together

I'm thinking about how I just wanna open up

And give and give and give

And its ok for you to care

Cos I can feel you in the air

And while you wonder

How's this gonna end

I only wanted to begin

I'm thinking about desire

I've had to learn how to sin successfully

I'm thinking about bliss

And bliss is all dressed up and there's no one to dance with

Remembering her smile

And the nuclear bomb and the reasons I loved her

I'm walking through central park

I'm in a foreign country and I'm waiting for a sign

And its ok for you to care

Cos I'm not going anywhere

And while you wonder

If you should let me in

I only wanted to begin

I'm still singing

Twisting new melodies, breaking arrangements

I'm thinking about my heart

I guess youve heard, sometimes its heavy

But I just keep moving

When I hit a wall I look up at the sky

I'm thinking about my maker

And despite all this I know she wont give up on me

And its ok for you to care

Cos I can taste you everywhere

And while its true all straight things must bend

I only wanted to begin
