Lyrics
New York City 5 AM
NYC 5:00 AM, riding home drunk on the train again.
This place reminds me of where I would rather be.
Caught her staring at me, when I was looking back to see what I could see.
She got up and walked off the train, now another face I?ll never see again.
What?s it gonna be kids?
Have you got the goods kids?
To make the grade kids.
Everyday we crucify ourselves, we never seem to get the last nail in.
Usually by that time we just clock out.
I check myself back into bed, think about the things I wish I?d said,
to the girl back on the train, the one I?m never gonna see her face again.
Chorus
