Name: Subway Girl
Duration: P00H04M10S
Description: Wrote this song for a particular subway crush I had in the summer of 2001. I asked her out but she said no thanks. I thought the song would perhaps flatter her enough to change her mind. It didn't. But really this song is dedicated to anyone who has had a subway crush or two. Haven't we all?

lyrics

8:50am in the subway station
I got your name but I got no location
of my heart which was left on the platform

Rolling away to the 6th avenue
Mine's Union Square and if she only knew
You give me 1 and then I'll give you 2

Spinning electro while you're dainty steppin'
Living in Williamsburg somewhere near heaven
Out of control while I'm reading the news

If I never even met you life would go on
Now riding the train seems so sad without you

Taking the L train to work in the morning
How can commuting seem fun when it's boring?
Riding with you is like painting a picture

I met you that hot day at Coney Island
Mermaid Parade in the sea and the sand
This song is my way of sculpting for you

Subway girl
