lyrics

Taking a seat on the line
That pulls me through 59th street
My steps unrelaxing their time
To match up to Manhattan's downbeat
You and me, boy, at the stoplight
Adjusting our bags so they fit right
As we rush off again
As we rush off again, we pretend we're a strange sight

Now the faces I pass every day
Are slowly getting older
Though I can't feel the weight as it lays
Well, I can see their shoulders
Breaking on in

Slaves to the clock, we arrive
At the same intersection each morning
Ever more intimate I've
Realized that your heart's in the whole thing
See, I recognize
The look in your eyes
You're every old man that I've known
You work for a living
You're strong and you're willing
To build your sweet family a home,
A home

Now the faces I pass every day
Are slowly getting older
Though I can't feel the weight as it lays
Well, I can see their shoulders
Breaking on in

Finger my face
Learn these lines
Are settling
I can't retrace
The steps that I've
Been following
Been following
Been following

Now the faces I pass every day
Are slowly getting older
Though I can't feel the weight as it lays
Well, I can see their shoulders
Breaking on in

about

Punch The Sun New York

PTS is equal parts noise and sensitivity, with introspective lyrics and irreverent shout choruses, revelling in dancy anti-man-splaining anthems, dreamy thunderstorm ballads, and yellin’ about guys named Steve.
