Hills & Manhattan
By Delrondu | Music24 May 2010
This is the kind of song that I would immediately fall in love with on the first listen. Soothing, sullen and moving, listen to it when it’s pouring down outside and it would be just perfect.
This is also the kind of lyrics I enjoy listening to. Especially the chorus parts where the words and the melody are in a perfect marriage.
Matt Bair, aka The Sequel – Hills & Manhattan:
just count to ten she said and you won’t miss a thing
deep breaths and notebooks tell me everything
well i keep her picture folded in my wallet so it’s close
turn her favourite clothes, saying she won’t let go
if the hills were in manhattan
maybe we could have it made
and if history had happened in a different time and place
we could wake up every morning keep our windows painted shut
we would be enough
so come on and meet me in love
she carved a space in me that no one else can fill
she picks me up in a way that nobody else ever will
if its just a test of time and weather
then what better place to cry
than driving the 405
she is the shotgun bride
and if the hills were in manhattan
maybe we could have it made
and if misery was laughing
we’d be pouring in the rain
and i wake up every morning with my windows opened up
and this ain’t enough
so come on and meet me in love
just count to ten she said and you won’t miss a thing
deep breaths and silhouettes show me everyting
i keep a picture crumbled in my pocket so its close
saying i won’t let go
telling you don’t let go
and if the hills were in manhattan
maybe we could have it made
and if history had happened in a different time and place
we could wake up every morning keep our windows painted shut
we would be enough, we could be enough
and if broadway turned to sunset, maybe i’d be on my way
and when we get a little older then we’ll never have to wait
and this picture will fit perfect, every word will come out right
we could spend the night, come on and meet me
so come on and meet me in love
just count to ten she said, and you won’t miss a thing.
