The stupid door is locked on both sides
and I don't want to walk back up
the buzzer could sound anytime
so I'll just sit here staring at the wall
thinking how I never thought I'd be here now
and when it's good it's great
and when it's bad the curtain falls away
to leave the fragile naked soul
exposed and breakable
I want to be home but there's 20 more stops
a homeless man is making eyes at me
my coat is way too warm
but it's a chore to take it off
things never go fast when you want them to
and never slow down when you want to soak them in
I feel her fingers on my neck
I feel her breathing down my chest
oh how close I was and could have been
in some distant foreign time
and the endless plane ride home that let it sting
what a sorry state I'm in
as I try to pull it all apart
the moment flickers into view
watch it tumble round and round
