Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You see me walkin' in the streets at night
Just followin' the sound of my lonely feet
I'm relinquishing of all control
My mind's in tactical retreat
I doubt you even live here still
But it quickens up the peace of my heartbeat
When I find myself by accident
On 22nd street
[Verse 2]
All the years seems bittersweet
My chapter's in a storybook
Still this incomplete
The fallen leaves will tumble to the fields
But nothing's ever changed round here
On 22nd street
[Verse 3]
Every time I hit this spot I remember
Twenty second was the place I met the girl of my dreams
A bright sunny day in November
Such a beautiful sight
Starin' right back at me
To get your body was my code
But you fit perfectly in a deep wifey role
You have me under control
On 22nd street where you keep show me heart and soul
[Verse 4]
I have a dream that I can't shake
A dream where only lovers meet
On the corner of the avenue
22nd street
Street musicians start to play
Their violins so sweet
We can't help ourselves but dance
The strips we must complete
[Verse 5]
All the years seems bittersweet
Our chapters in our fairytale
That still lies incomplete
The fallen leaves are destined to repeat
And nothing's ever changed round here
On 22nd street
[Verse 6]
Well anytime I walk this spot I remember
Twenty second was the place I met the girl of my dream
A bright sunny day in November
Such a beautiful sight
Starin' right back at me
I couldn't leave you alone
Something inside told me I'm gonna make you my own
I had you locked in my zone
You are the queen of my life and the heir to my throne
[Verse 7]
All the years seems bittersweet
My chapter's in the fairytale
Still lies incomplete
Fallen leaves will tumble to the fields
I find myself alone again
On 22nd street
[Verse 8]
On 22nd street
22nd street
22nd street
