lyrics

Curled up in my seat
I wait for the wail
Of the big train wheels on the north-bound rail
I'm coming to see you
I'm coming to feel your skin
The thick one that you wrap yourself in

She's a big girl now
San Francisco belle
No mother to worry
No father to yell
But she has too much past
And she has too much skin
The scarred kind that she traps herself in

And she knows where I've gone
But she don't know where I've been

Because of each other
We're crocodile tough
But beneath it we ache
'Cause we weren't enough
On the south-bound rail
It felt like a sin
Synapses felt loud and my skull felt thin

'Cause he knows that I'm gone
But he don't know where I've been

Scar on your shoulder
Constellations cajole
I can pin down your patterns
But not your wandering soul
Still, I'm coming to see you
I'm coming to feel your skin
The thick one that you wrap yourself in

And you know that I'm here
But you don't know where I've been
