Another night down
And what have we earned
Gonna make me a living
With the lessons I’ve learned

Takes a mighty long time
For a dream to be real
And time is a wound
That nothing can heal

I don’t wish for much
But some days
Man, I oughta
Find a good paying gig
And quit
Coming up short of

Paying my bills
I keep missing my train
If I don’t say something now
Will I see you again?

What do you have to lose?
These nights can be more than just to get through
More than eyes with strangers on trains
If I just stood a chance to ask for your name

Am I really here
If I don’t make a sound
If talk is cheap
It costs more to keep my head down


Another night out
Going round for round
As the sun comes up
I’m going down

A familiar face
The other side of the tracks
Always catches my gaze
But never looks back

I don’t wish for much
But some say
That you oughta
A house by the lake
A son
And a daughter

If you asked me right now
What I’d wanna do
I’d want to spend all my time
And spend it on you

And get to know you
These nights can be more than just to get through
More than eyes with strangers in trains
If I just stood a chance to ask for your name

Am I really here
If I don’t make a sound
If talk is cheap
It costs more to keep my head down
