Rhett Miller The El Lyrics

The El Lyrics

Let's say you're in Chicago and you're rattling along on the El
And the one
who rides beside you is a stranger to herself
Nobody knows her own
heart
You might have been introduced but you drifted apart
You're a long
way from where you belong unaware
Let's say you're in Chicago and you're
making out under the El
You're trapped in you're head humming a tune to
yourself
There's a trapdoor in your heart
There's a false bottom line and
it's falling apart
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
We were
on pins and needles
You were gearing up to cry
I was the instigator you
were the reason why
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
Let's
say you're in Chicago and you're breaking up all over the El
You were so in
love but you were only in love with yourself
Nobody knows her own
heart
Things were coming together now they're falling apart
You're a long
way from where you belong unaware
You're a long way from where you belong
unaware
