My First Heart Attack - Joe Wilson

I’m wandering the lower east side

Where all the streets have stories

My feet play the role of a folk singer

Strummin' the streets like guitar strings

I had angels in my ears

Singing my own memories back to me

As if I forgot

These streets blend to one

Like the days of, the last few months.

I met you where I knew you’d be

Inside the wallgreens on 22nd street

You still had sleep in your hair so I brushed it out

Using the same hand that connects the dots

To your beauty marks, yeah

Like a constellation of stars

Using your body as the universe.

Now it’s all coming back

Hitting as hard as a heart attack

I realize the beauty that you are

But I’ll keep it wrapped inside my skin

It’s a sin that I can’t touch your neck

Or bring your lips to mine

Right now you’ve lost your valor

You’re losing face, you’re falling from

The pedestal that I’ve held oh so high for you.

Yeah.

These streets blend to one

Like the days of, the last few months.

It’s a sin that I can’t touch your neck

Or bring your lips to mine

Right now you’ve lost your valor

You’re losing face, you’re falling from

The pedestal that I’ve held oh so high for you.

Yeah.
