old men step on my toes on the train
sit backwards facing me
speak a language familiar to me
my life is pleasantville is cassettes
i write another anthem to white plains as i travel west
where the skies open wider than central park
where it rains it pours
and when i'm out west
there will be enough space
men won't step on my toes
in my house, we don't say grace
(we bless)
in my house
and my house out west
bernie sanders is president
in my apartment
on the water
mac demarco knocks on my apartment door
and we listen to grateful dead together
you can be the savior
arriving on the a train
walking alongside rockaway beach boulevard
maybe stopping my stomach pain
no tylenol when there are no trees
the forest is the expanse of the sea
we watch the mets and play gamecube
the tv's power button is loose
in my apartment out west, i won't let anyone step on my toes

shielded under scaffoldings,
the bodegas glow at this time
and you know what they said to me?
so self assuredly
that i wasn't a painter
that subway rats are useless
that holding hands is foolish
there's no way i knew this
shielded under scaffoldings,
the bodegas glow at any time
and you know what i said to them?
you know what i said to them
so self assuredly?
so self assuredly
that i am a painter
that subway rats are friends
that holding hands is important
and i knew that
i knew that

i'll ride trains just to talk to you on a train
even if it's so loud that we can barely hear ourselves
dog wearing sunglasses pulls me
popcorn is the perfect snack for watching
and this porch is the perfect spot for waiting in the rain
i'll never go anywhere without a backpack
dog wearing sunglasses pulls me
you're kind of famous but still pretty lame
that's not why i'm sitting alone at the met
upon exit, stands a quintet

i'm starting to realize, i love you from a distance
and i'm starting to realize, i love you from a few feet
but that doesn't mean i'm not gonna miss this trip on the bqe

my life is controlled by trains
i don't know if you'd wanna stay
parking spots and hov lanes
i've never been to will's house
but he's been to my house
i've never been to _'s house
because she lives so far in the south
i am new england two months at a time
and when i am not, we are intertwined
i am westechester three months at a time
and when i see you, i wanna cry

a siren in the distance, i look up at the sky
i never thought to ask you why you kept asking why

is it normal to feel so uncool
all the time?
everyone i know is a 20 minute bike ride away
kinda do, kinda don't want to be your friend
that's okay, i am who i am
and i think it's kinda nice
that danny has alex g's phone number
