31st Street may refer to:
This article covers numbered east-west streets in Manhattan, New York City. Major streets have their own linked articles; minor streets are discussed here. The streets do not run exactly east–west, because the grid plan is aligned with the Hudson River rather than with the cardinal directions. "West" is approximately 29 degrees north of true west.
The numbered streets carry crosstown traffic. In general, even-numbered streets are one-way eastbound and odd-numbered streets are one-way west. Several exceptions reverse this. Most wider streets carry two-way traffic, as do a few of the narrow ones.
Streets' names change from West to East (for instance, East 10th Street to West 10th Street) at Broadway below 8th Street, and at Fifth Avenue from 8th Street and above.
Although the numbered streets begin just north of East Houston Street in the East Village, they generally do not extend west into Greenwich Village, which already had streets when the grid plan was laid out by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811. Streets that do continue farther west change direction before reaching the Hudson River. The grid covers the length of the island from 14th Street north. 13th Street would be the southernmost numbered street to span the entire width of Manhattan without changing direction, but it is interrupted by Jackson Square Park.
Down 31st street 4 years done
The graduation celebrated
With reckless fun
Nights filled with parties, girls,
And the freedom we'd been longing for
3 stuck together
Discussing life and whats in store
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
All the photographs can't capture
The bitter-sweetness of knowing
I'll never see your faces again
Nostalgia hits sometimes just like a punch in the face
And when it does I wonder
Did I make the right mistakes?
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
And if you don't know by now
I'm the one who gets away
Where are we now?
Too far apart from each other
How could 1 week be the end
But the start of another?
X'd out chapter of our lives?
Time is like poison never tasted 'til you die
At first you don't feel it
It starts to kick in
Not knowing this would be the final goodbye
We'll have the boardwalk forever
But tonight
The pinnacle of our devotion
Is taken under by the ocean
And if you don't know by now
(And if you don't know by now)
And if you don't know by now
I'm the one who got away
