Lyrics
Please don’t be another subway lover
Please don’t be another subway lover
Oh, I was in a hopeful stage
Waiting for a local train
As you approached the track
The platform began shaking
Oh, like fresh graffiti
You said something but I didn’t catch your meaning
You were riding express
The next thing I knew your train was leaving
Please don’t be another subway lover
Please don’t be another subway lover
You rode underground
Right straight for my heart
And it’s all your fault
My world came to a screeching halt
Oh, how unfortunate
I guess we were just passing trains
At the same stop
But our directions were not the same
Oh, how appropriate
I guess it’s just a passing phase
We gave it a shot
We were at the same track
But not the same paths
So I guess there’s nothing left to do but wait…
Please don’t be another… subway lover
