I Got The Way

I got the way, the way has got me

Holding my hand peculiarly

Singing on the train and suddenly

When I look up they're staring at me

Swapping looks like 'What a freak'

And 'All this excitement in the middle of the week!'

Well I like to play the fool a little bit

Don't even know that I'm doing it

Since you left things've been changing

Chugging, chugging, chugging along

I've been busy rearranging

Where I get off and where I get on

We caught the same train every day

I'd seen you and you'd seen me

But we both didn't see it was an express

So we ended up heading way out west

It was late. We had to wait for ages til the next train came

You sat right up close to me

I could feel your bony knee

If you were here, I'd lean over and say

If you were here today

If you were here, I'd lean over and say

I got the way

I got the way, the way has got me

I still catch the 8.23

You sound distant on the phone

Distant in distance and in tone

It's so much better when we're together

Why don't you pack up, leave that weather

And come back home where it's always hot

Even when it's not
