We used to wave at trains. Because we thought they cared When we were getting smaller and smaller Behind them. We thought they cared Because our parents cared And our teachers cared And our friends And we cared. That's when we cared. About the people we didn't know And the places we'd never been And when we made someone cry It made us cry. When was the last time you cried? Because it wasn't because of me. I can be almost sure of that. Do you ever think of the things I do to your body? Or just the composition of all the little things I am not. I try not to fancy myself The philosophical type But when I think of the reason I am here I can never push away your blue eyes Or crooked smile Or your calloused hands Or the days you couldn't push me away either. We have a lifetime ahead of us Filled with cabs And airplanes And buses And boats And trains that we can get off together, Instead of getting smaller and smaller To each other.
