An out-of-business restaurant was someone’s dream once
I can still see you in college, putting on your cherry lip gloss
But time did what it does, and it happened to us
The people who we thought we’d be call out who we’d become
And I came back to Manhattan like a tourist does
From a taxi, seatbelt fastened to which pocket I keep cash in
I sit down in Union Square, I could feel you here, I swear
But I turned around to see it’s really nothing
It’s just something in the air
It’s just something in the air
And for all that let his wife of 25 years walk out
I think maybe that all happened
Before they even knew what happened
Too much space between the words
Neither one of them felt hurt
Too much damage and her passion couldn’t be relearned
But hey, maybe that’s their version of what forever is
Built a home on crazy hours, fed their kids, kept on the power
He still hears her up the stairs, stirs his coffee like he cares
Then he turns around to see she isn’t coming
It’s just something in the air
It’s just something in the air
It’s just something in the air
It’s the blanket that your mother made when you were young
And why it only has more meaning
When the strands all come undone
It’s why you sometimes say a prayer
Why you wear the ring you wear
It’s the push when you need hope to keep you going
It’s the way that you just know without knowing
It’s just something in the air
I sit down in Union Square, I could feel you here, I swear
But I turned around to see it’s really nothing
It’s just something in the air
