Intro:
I saw the sunset from the front of the J train tonight.
The subway stopped and stammered and I couldn’t get my footing right.
I tied my scarf for the walk home the sun went down by 5:45.

But I saw the sunset tonight.
I saw the sunset from the front of the J train tonight.
I saw an Asian boy staring out the window at the light.
We didn’t see a single sunrise at 6:30 AM. It’s been a cloudy week and cold as ice.
But i saw, but i saw
But i saw, but i saw

But i saw, the sun set over the tracks tonight.
I saw the sunset from the front of the J train tonight.
I took a couple pictures and the workers thought that I wa sn’t quite right.
I see them every day,we all battle for a seat, it’s been a long damn week, we gotta rest
tired feet.
But i saw, but i saw
But i saw, but i saw
But i saw, the sun set
But i saw, but i saw
But i saw, but i saw
But i saw, the sun set
But I saw messages that say that life’s better than this.
I followed it down to the ground and took a seat with the other stiffs
I faced my weekend fright, looked forward to my Friday night.
I let my worries burn like files inside the fire and lights when I saw the sunset.
When i saw, when i saw
when i saw, when i saw
when i saw, the sun set
When i saw, when i saw
when i saw, when i saw
when i saw, the sun set
When i saw, when i saw
when i saw, when i saw
when i saw, the sun set
When i saw, when i saw
when i saw, when i saw
when i saw, the sun set
