and i havent been back since

 In my daydream, I walked Shore Road again

Shuffling in my shoes.

I never thought I’d be there again-

Or even want to be- Singing a different shade of blues

I guess my teenage dreams of love and connection

Had little to no lasting effect on my adult impression

Because I long to look out at the same horizon, 

with the ocean spraying at my feet.

The Atlantic and the Verrazzano are things I’ve not forgotten

As I move farther and farther away from 86th street. 

I think of about growing up, and all of the songs I've sung,

and I realize I have the same dreams as I did when I was young.
