Meanwhile, Everything

[Intro] Six seventeen Phone in my hand Waiting on the light Half-reading something I won't remember I put it away Look up instead [Verse 1] There's a kid beside me counting green cars Gets to seven loses count starts again Why green cars? Why green? A man checks both pockets for the keys already in his hand I almost tell him I don't [Pre-Chorus] Someone across the street waves this way I lift my hand halfway For a second I think he means me He doesn't That's alright [Chorus] Was this always happening? All of it right here Nothing big nothing new Meanwhile everything [Verse 2] Outside the grocery store a shopping cart pulls left The woman pulls right She's starting to take it personally A runner stops one shoe untied The light turns green Nobody moves for half a second Then everybody does [Chorus] Was this always happening? Doors slide open then shut again Someone misses the bus and laughs I don't know why I laugh too Nothing big nothing new Meanwhile everything [Outro] I check the time Six eighteen That's it One minute I almost missed it.
