[Verse 1] Friday kept its teeth in me I counted stops and checked the screen My paper cup went soft and warm The train slid past the platform sign [Pre-Chorus] I looked up late, the doors shut fast A name I’d never heard went past [Chorus] Missed my stop, so let it roll One wrong turn, one open afternoon Paper cup and postcard blue These strange street names are leading somewhere new I don’t need to know the way back yet Missed my stop—and haven’t missed a thing [Verse 2] A corner shop sold stamps and pears I bought a postcard with a painted pier The map kept folding in my hands I walked where all the signs began [Pre-Chorus] No grand design, no perfect plan Just room to see where I had landed [Chorus] Missed my stop, so let it roll One wrong turn, one open afternoon Paper cup and postcard blue These strange street names are leading somewhere new I don’t need to know the way back yet Missed my stop—and haven’t missed a thing [Instrumental] [Brief electric guitar solo] [Bridge] I used to hold the whole day tight Like every minute owed me right But here the hours don’t ask why And I can let one pass me by [Final Chorus] Missed my stop, so let it roll One wrong turn, one wide-open afternoon Paper cup and postcard blue These strange street names feel almost like a tune I don’t need to know the way back yet Missed my stop—and haven’t missed a thing No, I don’t need to know the way back yet Missed my stop—and haven’t missed a thing [Outro] A cheap postcard, a borrowed afternoon I’ll find my way back soon
