packaged into strangers on a train
i don't know a single person's
i don't know a single person's name
nobody will find my bright blue eyes
maybe accidentally
never once on purpose
looking away frantically
like i'm crazy
deny the roaring commonality
fine, let us drift lonely
in the crush and the sway of humanity
does this overwhelm you
like it's overwhelming me?
does this overwhelm you
like it's overwhelming me?
then simply press your finger tips
against my naked wrists
and whisper "hello we're in this together"
i know
i know
it's okay
we were babies and kids
do you remember when you first did
think oh me, oh my
i will die and there's no getting out of it
we were scared then and you better believe that we still are
but instead of crying in cafeterias
we cried in parked cars
instead of crying in karate classes
we cry walkin' home in snow from brooklyn bars
oh oh
