lyrics

Tomorrow on the train

I wish that you lived in my town

Help me make sense of this mess

Or I wish that I lived in your town

Then I could be somebody, I could be somebody, I could be somebody else

But you’re always laughing at me

And my many varied mistakes

You say that you’re only laughing

Because we are just the same

Hey, I can sleep tomorrow on the train

That takes me out of your town,

I hope when I wake up that I won’t complain,

But I love having you around.

I want to send you postcards

From all of my broken paths

With faded seventies photos on the front

Bad jokes in bad writing on the back

But you’re cheating at scrabble

That’s not a real word

But I know better than to argue with a girl

I’m drunk on your fire escape Carroll St. 3am

I’m hoping the sun takes his time coming around again

Hey, I can sleep tomorrow on the train

That takes me out of your town,

I hope when I wake up that I won’t complain,

But I love having you around.

I wish that you lived in my town

Help me make sense of this mess

Or I wish that I lived in your town

Then I could be somebody, I could be somebody, I could be somebody else
