๐ Lyrics
I have seen you on the train
A-starin' blankly out the window
Face betrays no single hint of thoughts
In your hand a small appliance
You two form a grand alliance
Headphones on, I wish that we could talk
But how I wonder what you're listenin' to
And how I wonder what goes on inside your head
You don't know that I'm alive
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
I hear a sound of people movin'
Comin', goin', hatin', lovin'
Hear the train a-grindin' to a halt
You hear a sound for your ears only
One part music, two part lonely
You don't talk to me, it's not your fault
And how I wonder what you're listenin' to
How I wonder what goes on inside your head
You don't know that I'm alive
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
I saw you look at me one morn
And eyes were red like you'd been cryin'
Couldn't help but wonder what was wrong
If you'd had a dreadful fright
Or if you'd sat and cried all night
Maybe you were just listenin' to a sad, sad song
But how I wondered what you're listenin' to
How I wondered what went on inside your head
You don't know that I'm alive
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
Another time, another place
Where you might recognize my face
And who knows, maybe then we'd sit and talk
But if I spoke now you'd up and run
It's best to keep that damn thing on
And I'll just keep my head down in this book
I wonder now if you're worth talkin' to
I wonder if there's anything inside your head
I wonder if you even know that you're alive
Or are you brain dead?
And how I wondered what you're listenin' to
How I wondered what went on inside your head
You don't know that I'm alive
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
A-starin' blankly out the window
Face betrays no single hint of thoughts
In your hand a small appliance
You two form a grand alliance
Headphones on, I wish that we could talk
But how I wonder what you're listenin' to
And how I wonder what goes on inside your head
You don't know that I'm alive
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
I hear a sound of people movin'
Comin', goin', hatin', lovin'
Hear the train a-grindin' to a halt
You hear a sound for your ears only
One part music, two part lonely
You don't talk to me, it's not your fault
And how I wonder what you're listenin' to
How I wonder what goes on inside your head
You don't know that I'm alive
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
I saw you look at me one morn
And eyes were red like you'd been cryin'
Couldn't help but wonder what was wrong
If you'd had a dreadful fright
Or if you'd sat and cried all night
Maybe you were just listenin' to a sad, sad song
But how I wondered what you're listenin' to
How I wondered what went on inside your head
You don't know that I'm alive
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
Another time, another place
Where you might recognize my face
And who knows, maybe then we'd sit and talk
But if I spoke now you'd up and run
It's best to keep that damn thing on
And I'll just keep my head down in this book
I wonder now if you're worth talkin' to
I wonder if there's anything inside your head
I wonder if you even know that you're alive
Or are you brain dead?
And how I wondered what you're listenin' to
How I wondered what went on inside your head
You don't know that I'm alive
Perhaps I might as well just be dead
