Sullivan Street Lyrics

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Cross the water and home through the town
Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet
Pretty soon I won't come around

I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly fallen to her knees

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Where all the bodies hang on the air
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet
Either way now, I don't really care

I'm almost drowning in her seas
She's nearly crawling on her knees
She's down on her knees

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
I'm just another rider burned to the ground

I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly crawling on her knees
It's almost everything I need
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Cross the water and home through the town
Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet
Pretty soon I won't come around

I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly fallen to her knees

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Where all the bodies hang on the air
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet
Either way now, I don't really care

I'm almost drowning in her seas
She's nearly crawling on her knees
She's down on her knees

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
I'm just another rider burned to the ground

I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly crawling on her knees
It's almost everything I need
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees

What is the Meaning of Sullivan Street?

Exploring themes of nostalgia, loss, and emotional turmoil, this song delves into the complexities of a past relationship. The recurring journey "back to Sullivan St." symbolizes a return to memories that are both haunting and comforting. The imagery of "crossing the water" and "shadows that fall" suggests an emotional passage through time and unresolved feelings. The protagonist is "almost drowning in her sea," indicating overwhelming emotions tied to the woman he sings about, who is also struggling as she is "nearly crawling on her knees." This mutual suffering highlights their deep connection yet inevitable separation. Ultimately, the narrator's indifference—"Either way now, I don't really care"—suggests resignation and acceptance of the unchangeable past. This poignant reflection captures the bittersweet nature of holding onto memories while recognizing their power over one's present state.
