I left the pain on the late-night train
Between the candy bar wrappers and the liquor stains
I walk away, escaping the rush
Words on a ticket I never liked much

And the passengers made sure I know
That it's gonna be slow and more demanding
But the stories on the road behind me
Make me feel like I can do this (on my own)

It's the same old song
They're saying “Whatcha hiding from?”
Where has all the lightning gone
You won't get what you're fighting for

And I can feel the sweat
Under a coat of light
'Cause I got no cash left to spend
And all my songs are trite

But I walk on a long street
My palm on my heartbeat
And you'll never find me on the ground
I walk on a long street
My palm on my heartbeat
And you'll never find me on the ground

Hold out your hands
You'll get backup plans
Advice from your friends
Who just never feel shy
To save you from the drama
Of living the panorama
When they're stuck in fake 90's hip-hop fisheye

And it's you, spotlights hang low in your face
One of these days in every hue of life to be had
And every little piece falling into place
Like Tetris success with no D-pad

It's the same old song
They're saying “Whatcha hiding from?”
Where has all the lightning gone
You don't get what I'm fighting for

And I'm a cause of stress
And we don't speak right
And I can't impress you
But you'll see my name in lights

I walk on a long street
My palm on my heartbeat
And you'll never find me on the ground
I walk on a long street
My palm on my heartbeat
And you'll never find me on the ground

The future's far so everyone pays the fare
And I began to think my feet might take me there
Sure, maybe future me regrets that I'm resisting
But he's probably alright
Given that you're listening

I walk on a
I walk on a (Don't you know)
I walk on a long street (My palm on my heartbeat)
My palm on my heartbeat (They're saying “Whatcha hiding from?”)
And you'll never find me on the ground (You'll never find me, you don't get what I'm fighting for)
I walk on a long street
My palm on my heartbeat (You'll never find me, you'll never find me)
And you'll never find me on the ground (See my name in lights)
I walk on a long street
My palm on my heartbeat
And you'll never find me on the ground
