about

I worked in NYC this summer, and met a girl on the subway. This song is dedicated to her.

lyrics

I met her on the subway
And as anyone could tell you
It's only in the movies you find love upon a train
I stopped at all the exits
In the hopes that I would find you
Now riding home in solitude has never felt the same

And every time I call her up I seem to lose my voice
And underneath the ground the shaky signal turns to noise
I tried my best to search for her despite the losing chance
I know it's silly, but I was hoping for romance

I watched her coming down just like a raindrop from the distance
She'd hit the ground and break and take path of least resistance
Well I wish I knew the words to say (I think about what could have been)
Cuz I was hardly listening (My heart is slowly twisting)
If only you and I, if only you and I got off at the same place

I saw you in the corner
stealing glances by the window
If I returned the favor, I would only do you wrong
The odds of us uniting
are a slim to none confession
You'll always be a stranger, and that's why I sing this song

The 9-5, the day-to-day will be the death of me
All it would've taken was a smile to set me free
I tried my best to search for him despite the losing chance
I know it's silly, but even I was hoping for romance
