You’re riding on the L train
You’re studying a new maze
You’re up until the sunrise
You’re headed to the next phase
Moving up the ladder
Fighting through some old ways
Open up the curtains
You’re headed to the next phase
One day your stitches will be but a scar
(you’ll wear them like a badge of honor)
And you know you’ve already come so far
Now you’re riding on the L train
Not thinking bout the old days
Emerging from the shadows
You’re headed to the next phase
You’re moving up the ladder
You’re borrowing a new phrase
Open up the windows
You’re headed to the next phase
It’s time for you to make it on your own
(without the weight of indecision)
All the birds that came from here have flown
(but in the end they’ll make their way home)
Now you’re riding on the L train
You’re firing a new glaze
You’re handling the pressure
You’re headed to the next phase
You’re moving up the ladder
You’re trying out a new gaze
Go tell it on the mountain
You’re headed to the next phase
You’re riding on the L train
You’re studying a new maze
You’re up until the sunrise
You’re headed to the next phase
Moving up the ladder
Fighting through some old ways
Open up the curtains
You’re headed to the next phase
Now you’re riding on the L train
Not thinking bout the old days
Emerging from the shadows
You’re headed to the next phase
You’re moving up the ladder
You’re borrowing a new phrase
Open up the windows
You’re headed to the next phase
