Train Under Water

You were born inside of a raindrop

I watched you falling to your death

And the sun, well, it could not save you

From falling down to the streets all wet

Body of water, toxic and timeless

Atlantic Ocean, New York skyline

I always get lost when I leave the village

So I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night

But I sing glory from my lowest

And I will say peace to the people I meet

While the world waits for an explosion

That instant of light that wipes the slate clean

So don't be fooled, so don't be lied to

Love was always cruel

And don't act strange, don't be a stranger

It happened to me, now it's happening to you

But if you take that train underwater

Then we could talk it through

Well, if I could tame all of my desires

Wait out the weather that howls in my brain

Because it seems that it's always changing

The winds indecision, the sorrowful rain

I was a postcard, I was a record

Now I'm riding all over this island

Looking for something to open my eyes

We will sing glory from a high rise

And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks

While the world waits for an explosion

That moment in time when we are set free

So don't stay mad, just let some time pass

And in the morning you awake feeling new

And if I don't come back

I mean, if I get sidetracked

It's only cause I wanted to

Keeping up with the moon on an all night avenue
