lyrics

You should watch where your feet go
Count every heartbeat
Avoid the cracks now
Don’t bump those passers by
The trick is not to see

Keep your eyes down
Below the horizon
Divert your attention
Don’t look it in the eye
The trick is not to see

And on to the station
My hopes are on that train
But I move untethered
Like running in a dream

I feel air from another city drifting to me
It brings me memories so sweet I’d sooner they were gone
They just stand as indictments of me here in this place
Scenes so clear - turn my head away
I’d rather never see

Then rain falls cold
I laugh with my secret
My secret laughs right back at me

I look down - to the waterfront I follow the rain
Pulls me down - train is leaving soon, I’ll watch it go from there
I feel air from another city drifting to me
No such place - turn my head away, I’d rather never see

The sky’s dead weight
I walk with my secret
My secret walks right next to me

The truth I know
I close my eyes and laugh with my secret
My secret laughs right back at me
