lyrics

Leaving the platform can be a crapshoot
First look across the aisle, I know I lucked out on you
But all the same, I know I’ll be leaving empty handed
Is there any real way to talk to a girl on the subway, anyway?

Trying to man up, fighting to keep from darting off
Every time you look me in the eye
It’s a habit that’s hard for me to avoid
But there’s something intimate, like you can see the soul or something deep

And I want to reach out, I want to feel something
I want to make some kind of connection
But it’s too much to feel this way on this Queens-bound train

Feel the car shifting, back and forth
The forces that push you as I pull
I wonder if you’re thinking what I’m thinking, but probably not
Cause when you looked at me I couldn’t return the favor

And I want to reach out, I want to feel something
I want to see you in something a little more revealing
But I probably shouldn’t say that out loud on this Queens-bound train

I wish these symptoms were confined to the transit system
And I want to say I want to believe in you
But there’s so much doubt, so much doubt deep down in there

And I want to reach out, I want to feel something
I want to run away from this city with a girl like you
I don’t know you but hey, babe, it seems like you’ll do
Hey you’re all I’ve got on this Queens-bound train
