This view used to bring
A smile to my face
Lately it's done nothing but
Remind me of the way

The way that you used to
Give me butterflies
Took me 21 days to
Walk our former paradise
Paradise, bu-bu-bu-day duh

Step by step, brick by brick
I'm reclaiming what's mine
This city is way too small
To give away to just one guy

Street by street, breath by breath
From the Back Bay to the sky
I'm taking back my city
I'm taking back my life

The café
Where you asked me for my name
The bookstore we spent
Five hours hiding from the rain

It's like a game of Monopoly
Except I steal back all my property
And leave you on the ground
And I know that I'll see you one day on the street
With a girl on your arm but I won't let that keep me from this town

From this town
From this town, oh

Step by step, brick by brick
I'm reclaiming what's mine
This city is way too small
To give away to just one guy

Street by street, breath by breath
From the Back Bay to the sky
I'm taking back my city
I'm taking back my life
I'm taking back my city
