Lyrics

Don't Fall Asleep On The Subway

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I could hear all the plans we had when the wind hits me just right,

And I'm so sick of wanting all the things I'm haunted by,

My sympathy goes to the oldest joke that's survived another year,

I wonder where I'm going from where I'm at I wonder why I'm still here

Hey, Hey, Hey

The writing on the subway walls

Reminds me why your words don't console me anymore

While I'm lying wide awake on this bedroom floor

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here

This is my last chance to disappear

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here

I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime

Hey, Hey, Hey

Hey, Hey, Hey

The local papers always opened up to obituaries and engagements,

Cause I keep track of all the fresh starts and the dying famous,

And there's a halo of second-hand smoke underneath the summer stars

Along with conversations we had on this subway car

Hey, Hey, Hey

The writing on the subway walls

Reminds me why your words don't console me anymore

While I'm lying wide awake on this bedroom floor

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here

This is my last chance to disappear

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here,

I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here,

I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime

Remember when, when you said,

You said take these words, do what you want with them

Hey, Hey, Hey

Hey, Hey, Hey

The writing on the subway walls

Reminds me why your words don't console me anymore

While I'm lying wide awake on this bedroom floor

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here

This is my last chance to disappear

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here

I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here

This is my last chance to disappear

I'm the lucky one

I'm getting out of here

I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime

I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime (Hey, Hey, Hey)

I think I may freeze on the last days of summertime (Hey, Hey, Hey)

Hey, Hey, Hey

Hey, Hey, Hey
