[Verse 1]

You don't like to take the train home

'Cause you don't wanna fall asleep again

Waking up at metropolitan

Was never part of the plan but it happened again

[Chorus]

Now, why are you going? Why are you crying?

I know, I know, I take it past the line

I don't know where I'm going, but I'll be fine

As long as you'll accept my alibi, my alibi

[Verse 2]

You always had a heavy heart

I never knew the answers to your scars

I think you made me cry that time

You said you like the way my eye-bags make me look high

[Chorus]

Now, why are you going? Why are you crying?

I know, I know, I take it past the line

I don't know where I'm going, but I'll be fine

As long as you'll accept my alibi, my alibi

[Bridge]

Waking up at metropolitan

I loved you for the things you did without thinking

I never said it, but it always made me grin

'Cause I loved you for the things you did without thinking

And I wish we could just take the train home one more time

And you'd fall asleep on my shoulder just one more time

Wake you up at your stop just one more time

And I'd say, "See you tomorrow" just one more time, but it'd be a lie

[Outro]

Now, why are you going?

(Ooh, oh-oooh)

Now, why are you going?

(Hmm-mm) My alibi
