Saw a picture of girl with the same hair 
And I'm posed next to her copping a smile 
Made a great photo but I never thought I'd see her again 
Didn't really wanna ever see her again 
When I'm alone on the train it was hard to imagine you caring about 
On your own 
I can't believe you brought her back for me 
That day was supposed to be like spring break 
But it was dark and cool 
And the sandbags are dirty,and gritty under our shoes. 

I brought my camera and have a shot of us you 
And that guy who died down in Philly on the beach 
The cyclone made you sick 
It was a seamless sort of trip 
But the time we took the tram down to Roosevelt island 
You made me feel like I was 
More like you than like me 
I like that 

But even when I was trying to score 
And we sat on the bench on that designated corner 
When we didn't have cell phones 
And waited for a man and we jumped on the subway back down town 

It always kicks in and it, always kicks in and it 
Sets your mind, something about the motion 
It sets your mind, sets your mind 
You really have to convince yourself it would be better outside 
It doesn't seem like anything could be better than that 
Riding that train 
And then you step outside you step outside 
And the sun is shining 
Can't believe you would ever go underground 
That's crazy. 
How'd they figure out even how to build that thing 
Oh it goes and it goes 

Meet at the bar where the floor lights up and 
Every other square turns to red and green 
Just to make us go and stop, and stop and go 
I go sleep on the train 
And wake up next to that guy we used to hate 
But the sound of his voice 
And the sound of his giggling 
Makes me want to be his friend again 
And it goes and it goes 
And it goes and it goes 

It always kicks in and it, always kicks in and it 
Sets your mind, something about the motion 
It sets your mind, sets your mind, 
It's hard to convince yourself it would be better outside 

It doesn't seem like anything could be better than that 
Riding that train 
And then you step outside you step outside 
And the sun is shining 
Can't believe you would ever go underground 
That's crazy. 

And it goes, and it goes 
And it goes, and it goes 
And it goes, and it goes 
And it goes, and it goes 
Oh it goes, and it goes 
And it goes, and it goes 
Oh it goes and it goes
