I saw your green hair,
beauty mark next to your mouth,
there on the subway,
I nearly had a breakdown.
A few weeks later
somebody wore your perfume,
it overwhelmed me,
I had to leave the room.
It’s just another day and it’s not over,
til it’s over, it’s never over.
It’s just another day and it’s not over,
til it’s over, it’s never over.
Til I don’t look for you on the staircase
or wish you thought that we were still soulmates.
But I’m still countin’ down all of the days
til you’re just another girl on the subway.
Made you the villain,
evil for just movin’ on.
I see your shadow,
I see it even with the lights off.
I made a promise
if in four months this feelin’ ain’t gone.
Done with this city –
I’m movin’ to Saskatchewan.
It’s just another day and it’s not over,
til it’s over, oh til it’s over.
It’s just another day and it’s not over,
til it’s over, it’s never over.
Til I can break routine in my own way
and trust myself that I won’t say your name.
But I’m still countin’ down all of the days
til you’re just another girl on the subway.
She’s got, she’s got a way,
she’s got a way, she’s got a way…
And she got, she got away
she got away, she got away.
(Repeat many times.)
