Lyrics: Leaving on the subway for your home last night
I was paying for the ride with my money
Standing in the station, I was losing my patience and my mind
All the liquor and the women and the time in between
And the narcotic haze I'd been feeling
Shoulda never come between us but I'm so glad you're back in my life
When I'm watching as the lights of the city fade
Sitting by the window on the seat of the train
Saddened with the burden of a guessing game
Which one is yours?
Just leave the lights off then next time I'm turning 'em on
Well I was fumbling for a quarter, hoping it wasn't over
I was probably money running out of my money
Wasn't over then and I guess that it ain't over now
Well I hit the city I was dead on my feet
Lying in arms with my head on the street
Tearing up my wallet and the bars where we used to meet
So when the lights of the city fade
Sitting by the window on the seat of the train
Saddened with the burden of a guessing game
Which one is yours?
Just leave the lights off 'til next time I'm turning 'em on
Leaving on the subway for your home last night
I was paying for the ride with my money
Standing in the station, I was losing my patience and my mind
All the liquor and the women and the time in between
And the drug haze that I'd been feeling
Shoulda never come between us but I'm so glad you're back in your life
When I'm watching as the lights of the city fade
Sitting by the window in the seat of a train
Saddened with the burden of a guessing game
Which one is yours?
Just leave the lights off 'til next time I'm turning 'em on
Just leave the lights off 'til next time I'm turning 'em on
Lyrics based on Fucker version.
