๐ Lyrics
I am a fool who waits in line
With my suitcase in my hand
To board the Noreaster Train
Outbound Penn Station
Where will she spit us out
Somewhere off beyond the bridges
I can't smell the ocean air
Past the Tappan Zee
Does ocean air remind you of me?
Who's gonna answer your door
When I come knocking?
I can see the kitchen light shine
Down on your new friend
Does he talk like I do?
Will he make you laugh too?
Well, I stood where he does
And I stared straight into you
Why would I do this to myself now?
And in the coming weeks you'll
You'll feel it getting colder
I'll make a mess of your life
And leave before it's over
Somewhere in the platform night
The late train pushes to the light
And as they punch my ticket
I open up my eyes
To see fluorescent lights
And my home station
Everyone here is a stranger permanently
What I'd give to try it all again
I know that nothing's easy
Or simple with you and me
And as I turn to leave you
There's just cicadas humming
With my suitcase in my hand
To board the Noreaster Train
Outbound Penn Station
Where will she spit us out
Somewhere off beyond the bridges
I can't smell the ocean air
Past the Tappan Zee
Does ocean air remind you of me?
Who's gonna answer your door
When I come knocking?
I can see the kitchen light shine
Down on your new friend
Does he talk like I do?
Will he make you laugh too?
Well, I stood where he does
And I stared straight into you
Why would I do this to myself now?
And in the coming weeks you'll
You'll feel it getting colder
I'll make a mess of your life
And leave before it's over
Somewhere in the platform night
The late train pushes to the light
And as they punch my ticket
I open up my eyes
To see fluorescent lights
And my home station
Everyone here is a stranger permanently
What I'd give to try it all again
I know that nothing's easy
Or simple with you and me
And as I turn to leave you
There's just cicadas humming
