stuck in a metal tube, I sit and stare at you
you seem to look through me, I wonder what you see
I still have two stations yet, counting the one that we just left
I wish I could stay with you, and ask you what you do
I figure you love to read, don't look for the faults like me
and probably love the sun, but think you're the only one
and I wish I could wake at dawn
to see you without makeup on
wish I had the guts to say
you look the best today
I feel I know your smile, like I saw it when I was a child
though today you just frown and bleed, your eyes flicker perfectly
rush hour crush ---, reminds me that we're still in town
I think of a time when I sat and watched a stranger cry
I wish I could wake at dawn
to see you without makeup on
wish I had the guts to say
you look the best today
and as I get off the train, look back to see you through the frame
a man sits and blocks my view, and then I forget you
