Rhett Miller - The El lyrics

Let's say you're in Chicago and you're rattling along on the El And the one who rides beside you is a stranger to herself Nobody knows her own heart You might have been introduced but you drifted apart You're a long way from where you belong unaware Let's say you're in Chicago and you're making out under the El You're trapped in you're head humming a tune to yourself There's a trapdoor in your heart There's a false bottom line and it's falling apart You're a long way from where you belong unaware We were on pins and needles You were gearing up to cry I was the instigator you were the reason why You're a long way from where you belong unaware Let's say you're in Chicago and you're breaking up all over the El You were so in love but you were only in love with yourself Nobody knows her own heart Things were coming together now they're falling apart You're a long way from where you belong unaware You're a long way from where you belong unaware
