lyrics

She slept on my peacoat
On the haunted suburban train
I watched every headlight
Like I was 15 again

If my youth doesn’t leave much for you
Sorry but what can I do

She said “hey amigo
“Got change for the soda machine?
“Let's get a cherry coke chaser
For this half pint stashed in my jeans”

Your youth doesn’t leave much for me
Sorry for all I can’t see in you

Under lamppost halos
We searched for brighter lights
In every bad kids backpack
Was a reason to leave home that night

If the child is father of the man
Remind me just which one I am

Everything's dancing on the haunted suburban train
I’m barely breathing
