I guess I never got why all of these people seem to run around
But I'm drinking coffee on the subway
They'll get right back onto this train and it will drive into the ground
These hollow rides just overlap with gray.
I think the reason I'm so down is because I keep trying to pretend
That I'm some guy with an armadillo hide
But by locking you all out I think I trapped myself inside
So I'm ready for this day to end.
I hope these lovers will not see me from a block behind
I'd hate to stumble into their peace of mind
Because it's getting hard enough to find a reason to stand
So how could I hold someone else?
But I know one hundred others wrote this song down too
Put your hand in mine and I'll stand with you.
