Hopped on the train the other day on route to Penn, transfer at Jamaica
I observed strangers as they were looking through
The glass that separates the waiting room from the platform looking on
I always seem to find some obscure beauty in my life on days that I feel less alive
So I just clenched and faked a smile
You took the car out for a ride
You were gone for quite a while
Time enough for me to hide
I took the bus out of this town
Far enough until I was safe
I never meant to let you down, I hated that look upon your face
♪
And on the train ride home I was staring out the window
And it only goes to show
Don't you hate to be alone?
(Don't you hate to be alone?)
It's only what we tell ourselves
Cause when I got on the train myself
I was hoping to sit next to no one else
So I just clenched and faked a smile
You took the car out for a ride
You were gone for quite a while
Time enough for me to hide
I took the bus out of this town
Far enough until I was safe
I never meant to let you down, I hated that look upon your face
Spend your nights, wasting time
Kissing every boy in line
I know where I spend mine
Goddamnit on repeat, singing every word in awe
One line stuck: "You were the last good thing I ever saw"
When I got home, I couldn't find closure in that note
When I got home
