lyrics

People tell me that I’m too thin
I just don’t let things get under my skin

And all the subway soldiers lining the wall
Every one seems to trip and fall
Just like I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

And we all walk around with our eyes on the ground
And I try not to stare cause I’m told not to care
Just pretend that nobody's there

But, what do we miss going on like this?
It’s cool to be bored but is it cool to be ignored?
I wanna realize a secret in the Brooklyn skies
And it feels like I’ve been looking my whole life

Flashed before my eyes, I nearly died
I can’t get lucky every time
And time again, it’s just a matter of when
I fall asleep standing on my own two feet

And I realize a secret in the Brooklyn skies
I had to trade the headlights for the fireflies
And realize a secret in the Brooklyn skies
I had to trade the headlights, trade the headlights
Trade the headlights, trade the headlights
Trade the headlights, trade the headlights
I want the feeling that I’m reckless and free
And I don’t worry, worry about anything
cause I’m free, finally, free to lose my mind
And I want it. I want it all the time

Til my life is gone, my life is gone
My life is gone and I work alone
I work alone
My life is gone, my life is gone
My life is gone and I work alone
I work alone.

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
