One Little Moment

I've been riding for hours down these subway tracks
With the weight of a thousand mistakes on my back

I feel the hum of the engine
The shock of its brakes
But I don't pay attention to the stops that it makes

Because I don't know where I'm headed
But I'm bound to find
That one little moment that I can call mine

And if I'm still empty-handed at the end of the line
I'll go back downtown
I'll give it one more try

Because I don't know
But I go
My whole life - been running
No, I don't know
I'm just looking for that one little moment I can call my own
Call my own

I got an old friend back home
All alone with her son
And her heart's always heavy
And her work's never done

She's been tapping her fingers in the carpool line
On a hairpin trigger to a heart full of fire

And I don't know where she's headed
Or the life she'd prefer
Or if she's ever had a moment that she could call hers

And I can't pretend I know better
Because I'm sure I'd get burned
And I can't lend advice because I never learn

I don't know
But I go
My whole life - been running
No, I don't know
I'm just looking for that one little moment I can call my own
Call my own

I don't know
There's something waiting
And it needs to have all of me

I don't know
But I need to answer
Because it keeps on calling me

So, I've been riding for hours down these subway tracks
With the weight of deciding my fate on my back

I see the bankers and the beggars
The poets and the pawns
They get off at the station
And then more strangers get on

But I don't know where I'm headed
But Lord, I'm bound to find
Just one little moment that I can call mine

And if that means it leaves me stranded
At the end of the line
I'll walk out on the beach
And watch the sunrise

Yeah
Because I don't know
But I go
My whole life - been running
No, I don't know
I'm just looking for that one little moment I can call my own
Call my own
