lyrics

(Whistle)
Well I’m standing in a streetcar line, waiting for a ride,
maybe we can decide a way to make the most of a new day
And I’m wondering how it’s gonna be, if we make it to the end
leave me better than you find me, maybe share my joie de vivre

And then soon enough and off the cuff,
and it’s plain to see, and I’m realizing it ain’t me

(Whistle)
Well I’m standing in a hot dog line, waiting for the relish,
maybe to embellish the way she drinks or smokes so there are no jokes
And I’m wondering how it’s gonna be when I introduce the friends,
maybe make amends as I see fit for what they mean to me

And then soon enough and off the cuff,
and it’s plain to see, and I’m realizing it ain’t me

(Whistle)
Take a little walk in my shoes, ‘cause I,
I live for living, and not for the news, and (no/oh),
we won’t live forever, and maybe just part, so know
You’ll do best for knowing what won’t work right from the start

(Whistle)
Well I’m standing in streetcar line
Waiting for you to go, and I guess you know
the ins and outs and all the doubts
And it doesn’t mean a thing my friend
when we say “I might call you, we should get together again”
Won’t follow up on the loose ends

And then soon enough and off the cuff,
and it’s plain to see, and I’m realizing it ain’t me

Realizing it ain’t me

(ghost whistle)
