Street by Street

This view used to bring

A smile to my face

Lately, it's done nothing but

Remind me of the way

The way that you used to

Give me butterflies

Took me twenty-one days

To walk our former paradise

Paradise

Bu-bu-bu-day, duh-duh, doo

Step by step, brick by brick

I'm reclaiming what's mine

This city is way too small

To give away to just one guy

Street by street, breath by breath

From the Back Bay to the sky

I'm taking back my city

I'm taking back my life

The café

Where you asked me for my name

The bookstore we spent five hours

Hiding from the rain

It's like a game of Monopoly except I steal back all my property

And leave you on the ground

And I know that I'll see you one day on the street with a girl on your arm

But I won't let that keep me from this town

From this town

From this town, ooh

Step by step, brick by brick

I'm reclaiming what's mine

This city is way too small

To give away to just one guy

Street by street, breath by breath

From the Back Bay to the sky

I'm taking back my city

I'm taking back my life

I'm taking back my city
