You Said Something - PJ Harvey

On a rooftop in Brooklyn

At one in the morning

Watching the lights flash

In Manhattan

I see five bridges

The Empire State Building

And you said something

That I’ve never forgotten

We lean against railings

Describing the colours

And the smells of our homelands

Acting like lovers

How did we get here?

To this point in living?

I held my breath

And you said something

And I am doing nothing wrong

Riding in your car

Your radio playing

We sing up to the eighth floor

A rooftop, Manhattan

One in the morning

When you said something

That I’ve never forgotten

You said something

You said something

You said something

That was really important
