I've been thinking about you Been thinking about you I've been taking my time with you Been taking my time with you But falling quickly too And sometimes How I lose my mind When I am feeling fine Since I have been with you It was 14th street in 2013 Down to your house at odd hours of the night Cross town train We've been staying out too late Bushwick Avenue has never been the same I've been looking at the view Been thinking about the truth And what's going to happen to you I've been lying awake at night Wondering how we can make it right And how love will follow through And sometimes How I lose my mind When I am feeling fine Since I have been with you It was 14th street in 2013 Down to your house at odd hours of the night Cross town train We've been staying out too late Bushwick Avenue has never been the same It was 14th street in 2013 Down to your house at odd hours of the night Cross town train We've been staying out too late Bushwick Avenue has never been the same
