rode the train ten stops today
when i heard that you had gone
i try to find the words that i have to say
while the city just rambles on

putting myself together now
and i'm calling you on the phone
i can't understand why you think somehow
you'd be better off on your own

walking down these streets tonight
your words are in my head
dealing with the feeling that i need to fight
you should be thinking of me instead

and my feet feel so heavy now
and the rain is falling again
and i wonder if you could tell me how
this could ever end

and the train just rambles on
and i'm counting the nails on my fingers
and i guess i should say so long
but i can't throw away your pictures

walking down these streets tonight
your words are in my head
dealing with the feeling that i need to fight
you should be thinking of me instead

instead x 4
