Tipsy In Transit

Another Tuesday. Another empty room. She looks at the map... five thousand miles too soon. Station lights blur against the glass, Watching the ghosts of a promised future pass. She’s all alone again, breathing in the cold, Reading letters that she left unfold. He’s a world away, a name upon a screen, Living in the space of what could have been. Now she’s building walls out of quiet fears, Learning how to live alone all through the years. The silence gets too loud when the sun goes down, So she trades her tears for the neon town. Pouring courage in a crystal glass, Hoping this numbness is gonna pass! One sip, two sips, blurring out the pain— She goes out at night to find those connections she’s missed all these years in the rain! Tipsy in transit, moving through the haze! Lost in the rhythm of the city’s electric maze! She stays intoxicated to numb the changes, yeah! Chasing warm bodies where the stranger ranges! (Hey! Feel the bassline shake!) Tipsy in transit, for old time’s sake! Stumbling heels on the cobblestone street, Listening hard for a different heartbeat. Mirrors in the lounge show a stranger's face, Trying to belong in a crowded place. She smiles at a look, leans into the heat, Just a momentary fix on a lonely beat. Deep inside, she knows it’s a phantom high, As she watches the smoke melt into the sky. The silence gets too loud when the sun goes down, So she trades her tears for the neon town. Pouring courage in a crystal glass, Hoping this numbness is gonna pass! One sip, two sips, blurring out the pain— She goes out at night to find those connections she’s missed all these years in the rain! Tipsy in transit, moving through the haze! Lost in the rhythm of the city’s electric maze! She stays intoxicated to numb the changes, yeah! Chasing warm bodies where the stranger ranges! And when the lights come up and the club goes dim, She's back in the cab, still thinking of him. The liquid wears off, the high fades away... She’s still a world away from where she wants to stay. All alone again... Tipsy in transit... Just numbing the changes...
