Lyrics

Subway

I lost you on the subway car
Got caught without my metro card
I waited and I waited for the express train
Wanna catch up with you wherever you are

I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
And it was hot
And when it stopped

It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
My heart

Got on the train and I took a seat
Thought why all these people all watching me
Caught my reflection in the subway car
Thought look at you whoever you are

I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
And it was cool
And when it stopped

It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart

Well, I got, I got, I got, I got
Got off, got off, on you
Well, I got, I got, I, got
Got off, got off, got off, on you
Well, I got, got off, I got
Got off, got off, got off, on you
I got, I got, I got
Got off, got off, got off, on you

It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
Some somethin' in my heart
