Past Selves Lyrics

When you're riding on the L-Train

But you don't know where you've been

And you find yourself passed out again

All covered up in sand

You imagine you've adventured

Made your way out to the shore

But you really just fell down in Brooklyn

On the Surfbar floor

Met a girl working on Bowery

At a bar the week before

And you hung out once and saw a band

And she tried to move nextdoor

That night the building caught on fire

So you took it as a sign

You'd have to go and end things quick

Before your lives become entwined

I'm staring at my past self setting in the sun

We were young and all entitled to our fun

But now i'm wondering if that person's still inside

Inside

Inside

Well it started on a Sunday

You had gone out for some brunch

And before you even knew it

You'd become a cocktail sponge

You had told her that you'd help her

Yeah, you were going to help her move

But your friends said once you're in that deep

There's really nothing you can do

I'm staring at my past self setting in the sun

We were young and all entitled to our fun

But now i'm wondering if that person's still inside

Inside

Inside
