Lyrics
[Verse 1] I'm making plans for the day all of this is through Seeing my path and hearing the song I'll sing And food that I'll taste and all the drinks that I'll consume Return the smile on an unmasked friend As we take streets I don't walk down 'cause I want to avoid Fighting temptation, walk at a downtown pace And treasure the crowds that once made me act so annoyed Sometimes I wonder how long 'til I'm a face in one? [Verse 2] You'd be surprised to learn what you could bear to lose Wanting and needing, not getting either one And planning the future as if time is yours to choose Pick out a movie, a sandwich from a screen Yeah, how many days in life will I spend underground? Hours in total, as many as it takes And how many ways of feeling lousy have I found? Lately uncounted [Chorus 1] I've found a reason to exist Written on the tile Of the platform wall Begging not to go extinct To all those who saw [Verse 3] How many times now have I walked into that room With the day shining through purple film? Combining sound from the corner that you use yourself to tune Like a piano, well-tuned and walking slowly Socks on the carpet while some kid watches my shoes Feeling the sine like a bolt of lightning House of dreams you were once my cure for New York City blues Is this goodbye then? [Chorus 2] Will you be on the other side? Waiting there for me? Nothing left to want Cashing in my claim to the world To a life lived mostly free [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 2] On the other side Waiting there for me Nothing left to want Cashing in my claim to the world To a life lived mostly free
