Song Description

From the middle of a train packed full of anxious strangers -- You looking at me? -- home can seem so far away.

Lyrics

Facing the back, I don't see a thing coming
Just watch it all passing me by
Stare out at the blankest sea of faces
Never meeting another eye

And the world is a weight on my shoulders
My calm is a cage come unlocked
I want to retreat to my corner
But there?s still a river to cross

Chorus:
It?s late and I?m drained
My restraint is weak
And this train?s full of strangers
As strange as me
If I could just get home
Before my cover?s blown
There?s no breaking down
When I?m Brooklyn Bound

Night after night, we?re shoulder to shoulder
Each of us all alone
We?ve folded our lives up
Tucked them inside us
To seek out the safety of home

But tonight it?s too much for me to bear
Anxiety?s up like a flag
Now we?re stuck at the station
And they?re starting to stare
Why didn?t I take a cab?

Chorus

There are days I can I fake it
And somehow I get by
But I don?t think I?m going to make it
This time

Chorus
