Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got the way, the way has got me Holding my hand peculiarly Singing on the train and suddenly When I look up, they're staring at me Swapping looks like, "What a freak" "All this excitement in the middle of the week" Well, I like to play the fool a little bit Don't even know that I'm doing it [Chorus] Since you left things've been changing Chugging, chugging, chugging along I've been busy rearranging Where I get off and where I get on [Verse 2] We caught the same train everyday I'd seen you and you'd seen me But we both didn't see it was an express So we ended up heading way out west It was late, we had to wait for ages 'Til the next train came You sat right up close to me I could feel your bony knee [Chorus] Since you left things've been changing Chugging, chugging, chugging along I've been busy rearranging Where I get off and where I get on [Bridge] And ooh, if you were here, I'd lean over and say And ooh, if you were here today And ooh, if you were here, I'd lean over and say "I got the way" [Verse 3] I got the way, the way has got me I still catch the 8:23 You sound distant on the phone Distant in distance and in tone It's so much better when we're together Why don't you pack up, leave that weather And come back home where it's always hot Even when it's not? [Chorus] But since you left things've been changing Chugging, chugging, chugging along I've been busy rearranging Where I get off and where I get on [Bridge] And ooh, if you were here, I'd lean over and say And ooh, if you were here today And ooh, if you were here, I'd lean over and say "I got the way" "I got the way" "I got the way" (Things've been changing) "I got the way" (If you were here today) "I got the way" (Things've been changing) "I got the way" (Oh oh)
