Lyrics

Let's say you're in Chicago and you're rattling along on the L
And the one who rides beside you is a stranger to herself
Nobody knows her own heart
You might have been introduced but you drifted apart
You're a long way from where
You belong, unaware
Let's say you're in Chicago and you're making out under the L
Trapped in your head, humming a tune to yourself
There's a trapdoor in your heart
There's a false bottom line and it's falling apart
You're a long way from where
You belong, unaware
We were on pins and needles
You were gearing up to cry
I was the instigator
You were the reason why
Let's say you're in Chicago and you're breaking up all over the L
Well you were so in love but you were only in love with yourself
Nobody knows her own heart
Things were coming together, now they're falling apart
You're a long way from where
You belong, unaware
You're a long way from where
You belong, unaware
