Don't Fall Asleep on the Subway
I could hear all the plans we had when the wind hits me just right
and I'm so sick of wanting all the things I'm haunted by
my sympathy goes to the oldest joke that's survived another year
I wonder where I'm going from where I'm at, I wonder why I'm still here
The writing on the subway wall
reminds me that your words don't console me anymore
while I'm lying wide awake on this bedroom floor
Chorus:
I'm the lucky one, I'm gettin' outta here
this is my last chance to disappear
I'm the lucky one, I'm gettin' outta here
I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime
The local paper's always opened up to obituaries and engagements
'cause I keep track of all the fresh starts and the dying famous
and there's a halo of second-hand smoke underneath the summer stars
along with conversations we had on this subway car
The writing on the subway wall
reminds me that your words don't console me anymore
while I'm lying wide awake on this bedroom floor
(Chorus)
I'm the lucky one, I'm gettin' outta here
I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime
Remember when, when you said
you said take these words, do what you want with them
The writing on the subway wall
reminds me that your words don't console me anymore
while I'm lying wide awake on this bedroom floor
(Chorus) (x2)
I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime (x2)
In With the Out Crowd
