about

This is chapter 7 of of my collection of songs: LifeLongLove.

Setting: The Uptown 2 train, I'm packed in with the other commuters, tourists and oddballs. I'm 30 feet underground thinking about you-know-who and, oh my god, look who just got on the train! i kid you not.

lyrics

"Hi, wow!"

what are the chances we’d meet like this?
crammed in the subway, the end of a tough day
seems like a sign that’s hard to miss
whattaya think it means?

on your way home for some peace of mind
can i make a suggestion or ask you a question?
maybe a friend could help you unwind
how ‘bout some company?

uh oh — who is it gonna be?
somebody’s gotta cheer you up when you feel down
somebody’s gotta make you laugh and play the clown
that “somebody” might as well be me

so glad i ran into you tonight
sorry to hear that your day turned out so bad
now you need someone to treat you right
how ‘bout some company?

uh oh — who is it gonna be?
somebody’s gotta cheer you up when you feel down
somebody’s gotta make you laugh and play the clown
that “somebody” might as well be me
. . .
somebody’s gotta keep your secrets underground
somebody’s gotta be your prince and wear the crown
that “somebody” might as well be me
