Oh the secrets we keep without even trying
No emergency calls we're not even trying
Late train to get home to my bed
End a long day in a cold world
Realist foresight draining my head
Too sober in the sharp wind
Up on the platform seeing too long
Facts on my backside coming up strong
I think you've got it made, but then I don't know you
I don't know your private pain because love I don't know you
And I feel that pressure go down
And I need that thing to go through
Got a pent up thing to pass on
Got a bad attitude to piss down
Up on the platform lost in these thoughts
Station departing ready or not
I think you've got it made, but then I don't know you
I don't know your private pain because love I don't know you
Oh the secrets we keep without even trying
No emergency calls we're not even trying
