lyrics

Catch me if you can
I will not be beaten down
Though the A is running local
And it takes an hour to get uptown
Another 60 hour week
On aching legs and tired feet

The subway grumbles in
All hung over and baggy-eyed
We pack it to the brim
And it pulls away with a heavy sigh
Another day without a break
On creaking rails and rusty grates
It never waits

The tunnel spits me out
I make my way up from below
I'm a ten minute walk from home
The summer sun is hanging low

I feel it creeping in
I fight the bite away from skin
The doubt and fear attack
Both from outside and from within
Will I ever feel whole
How do you feed a hungry soul

Then I’m in the bedroom where you’re
eating takeout on the floor
In all my life, my darling,
I’ve never loved a person more
