Im on a plane heading to New York
To see my sister
I dont really know what Im heading for

Buts that just like me To leave my friends behind
Holding hands
At least holding hands in my eyes


And its hard when you dont know why youre leaving
Yes its so hard but theres 3000 miles from Balham to Brooklyn


I remember the day she said to me
Take this magic marker and draw yourself a door

And through that door you can take yourself to a better place
A better place youve been longing for


And its hard when you dont know why youre leaving
Yes its so hard but theres 3000 miles from Balham to Brooklyn


All day all night you try you try
But you dont really know where youre going
All day all night you try you try

But you dont really know where you are

And its hard when you dont know why youre leaving

Yes its so hard but theres 3000 miles from Balham to Brooklyn
