This is a song I wrote in about May or June of 2008. I'm also finally starting to figure out iMovie...I know, lame. :-)
Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along:
(Verse 1)
"Don't stand...don't stand so...don't stand so close to me"
I can hear it blaring out her headphones
Should I rock out, or warn her of the ills of eardrum damage?
Either way, she's a sight for sore eyes
Even with her blatant disregard for her hearing
And the jolt of the warped tracks sends her perfect body on a collision course with mine
(Chorus)
She turns around, smiles, looks down and blushes
I think she might be one of my new crushes
Is this real, or is this pretend?
I think I found myself a Subway Girlfriend
(Verse 2)
As we roll passed 34th Street
I'm standing downwind from her perfume, it's so sweet
We take turns checking each other out
Trying not to get caught like cat and mouse
And then I look up and I'm quite dismayed
Even though she's as cool as a glass of lemonade
I see the NYU bandana in her hair
And the next stop is Union Square...
(CHORUS)
(Verse 3)
What do I say? I gotta check my inflection
I feel like screaming out "CraigsList Missed Connections"
I want to tell the whole world the feelings you give me
In a perfect world, I'd speak up, and you'd set me free
Will I ever see you again, tell me your name
I want to be the Joe Wilson to your Valerie Plame
(CHORUS)
