On this song of the week, I have a few things to point out.
One is the vivid thematic metaphors of New York and water.
"If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,"
"Making a lake of the East River and Hudson"
"And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings."
"Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
"Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound"
"But while you debate half empty or half full"
"your love is gonna drown"

Finally the overall style is refreshing and upbeat, with a clean an clear indie sound.
The final piano note is a wonderful way to end this song...
