lyrics

Day trip to the Bronx Zoo
All your colleagues and friends were going with you
Everybody ran late, but you beamed with excitement
As you strolled through the gate
Cut a path by the lake
All the pictures your Polaroid camera could take
But when the day was done
You looked all around and couldn’t find anyone

I would have picked you up
And I would have held your hand so tight
Until you knew you weren’t alone
And you’d never worry again

You look back in a haze
A stiff, frozen form of contempt on your face
Maybe years have gone by
But you’re jolted right back
As the tears fill your eyes

This is your stop, time to get off, don’t you worry
This is your stop, it’s time to get off, please don’t cry
This is your stop, you need to get off
But they won’t stop moving

We were nothing back then
I wasn’t your colleague and I wasn’t your friend
I wish I could amend
All the time that you’d wasted with any of them
