Spring Street - Vanessa Carlton

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah

I was heading down to Spring Street

With a suitcase in my hand

I’m filled with love and life and grand illusions

I knew you’d understand

And I left you by the stairwell

And your eyes were wet with tears

Mother you knew you had to let me go

Even after all these years

And we sing (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

And she said (Nah-nah-nah-nah nah nah nah)

«Well, walk on» (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

You’re alright (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

And I found myself a new life

And I’ve been living with some friends

And we hold on to dreams and live like kings

Like the days will never end

And I left him by the statue

And his eyes were filled with tears

Lover, you knew you had to let me go

Even after all these years

And we sing (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

And he said (Nah-nah-nah-nah nah nah nah)

«Well, walk on» (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

«You're alright» (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

And everything changes

And friends become strangers

And what we hold so dear slips away

The past keeps on fading

But I’ll never forget you

It’s hard to see that you’re a part of me

Even when we have to say

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah

«Walk on» (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

And we sing (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

«We're alright» (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

And I moved out of the city

To start a family of my own

And when I look into my daughter’s eyes

I don’t feel so alone

And as I walk her down to Spring Street

And she holds on to my hand

Mother, you knew my eyes would be wet with tears

And now I understand

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah

And I say (Nah-nah-nah-nah nah nah nah)

«Walk on» (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

«And thank you» (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah

Walk on (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

I’m alright (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

And hold on (Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah)

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah
