I took a train

              
 to Boston and

   
 I wanted to c

He's gone, I'm

              
 24 and it's a

          
 Saturday nigh

t
            
I ran and took

e side
             
I hate when we

ks when we fig

ht
            
But honestly w

e boys
             
I'll date for

and I'll leave

 when I'm bore

d
            
This train is 

              
full of strang

[Verse 2]
            
I'm walkin' by

              
 the river and

    
 I stopped by 

the boats
             
At night it's 

              
kind of tempti

           
ng just to see

 if you'd floa

t
            
The benches by

f a boy that I

 met
             
Through someon

              
e back in coll

eird intellect
            
She liked to t

              
ell the truth 

            
and she was ha

rsh but direct
             
Her boyfriends

[Pre-Chorus 2]
           
And that's jus
