Lyrics
The 2 AM Green Line rattles the glass.
Third week of November, the condensation's fast.
My breath on the frost of the Brighton windowpane
makes a little ghost island in the shape of Maine.

It's not the foghorn warning, but it isn't right.
Just another signal in a language I can't keep,
Cutting through the static while the city is asleep.
[Outro]
Yeah, the plans were wrong.
Guess I'll draw my own.
