Red Line Songtext
von Molly Grace

There′s something 'bout that dirty water
That makes me wanna come clean
Last night, I wound up in the Common
And took a walk with your memory
I find a bench, I start to cry
The stoners think I′ve lost my mind
And maybe they're right

I miss the lights over the harbor
Back when you were mine
Grabbin' my hand as we were mergin′ onto Storrow Drive
Pretendin′ like we go to Harvard
But we weren't that bright
But now we′re just a couple strangers on the Red Line


Do you remember back in August
Sharing pastries on the street?
And oh, these cobblestones don't see me often
You say the same about me, oh
The ducklings march, we all make way
The Townies smoke outside all day, all day
But something′s changed

I miss the lights over the harbor
Back when you were mine
Grabbin' my hand as we were mergin′ onto Storrow Drive
Pretendin' like we go to Harvard
But we weren't that bright
But now we′re just a couple strangers on the Red Line

What if I stopped this train
And jumped across the tracks?
If you saw me in the station
Would it take you back
To that November night
Wearing your Red Sox cap?
It was just me, you, and the city
What I′d give for that


I miss the lights over the harbor
Back when things seemed right
Can't call this city home
Because it doesn′t feel like mine
And if you ever get to thinking
That you wanna try
You'll find me sitting with the strangers on the Red Line
I miss the lights over the harbor
Back when you were mine
Grabbin′ my hand as we were mergin' onto Storrow Drive
Pretendin′ like we go to Harvard
But we weren't that bright
But now we're just a couple strangers on the Red Line
