My Private Nation

train-Lincoln Avenue



Well I guess this is where I left my life

And all its operations

And I know that I will never get this twice

With all negotiations



This feels like the place between what is and might have been

So I guess this is where we both find out

If this was meant to be

And I'll tell myself, I don't need you

I'll tell myself enough to get me through

But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day

If you can take a little more



Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue

When you said you'd never get tired of the boy

That seemed to be so far from growing up

But we were different then



This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way

And I'll tell myself, I don't need you

I'll tell myself enough to get me through

But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
