This ballad describes Jones' break-up with boyfriend-bassist Lee Alexander and her moving out of the Brooklyn home they once shared.
A number of the tracks on her album The Fall feature songs inspired by the demise of their relationship.
I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened
When I cross that bridge
It'll be as if this don't exist
I've a prince who is waiting
And a kingdom downtown
I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened
We don't have to speak at all
I won't look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
We don't have to speak at all
But Brooklyn holds you
And it holds my heart too
What a fool I was to think
I could live in both worlds
We don't have to speak at all
I won't look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
We don't have to speak at all
I should go back to Manhattan
It's just a train ride away
I know nothing about leaving
But I know I should do it today
Back to Manhattan was written by Norah Jones.
Back to Manhattan was produced by Jacquire King.
Norah Jones released Back to Manhattan on Wed Nov 11 2009.
