Second Story

The Hang Ups Second Story Lyrics
1.Parkway

Lyricist:Brian Tighe

I can go on my own way
If you believe the story
She was a secretary
Worked for some dignitary

Stuck at her desk the whole day
'Cept for the trips for coffee
In the shadow of a bad year
Ooh, to find
Looking far away from here

He felt so ordinary
Worked for this big attorney
Kept on his headphones all day
Tuning into sixties airwaves

Out on a lunch break on the parkway
Was where they met each other one day
And what they found
Took them far away from here
And what they found
Took them so far away


2.Caroline

Lyricist:Brian Patrick Tighe

Caroline checks the time
It was getting late
What a pain, catch the train
Now you're on your way

Check the stars for a little while
If it makes you smile
All the planets might be in line

Up above on the subway
You start to go off to work
What a turd sitting next to you

But the signs all look good today
Wouldn't that be strange?
If the planets lined up again

Magazine, all she reads is the horoscope
Stop the train back again to the old routine

But the signs all look good today
Wouldn't that be strange?
If the planets lined up again


3.Second Story

Lyricist:Brian Patrick Tighe

Even in the distance
The stars shine bright
On the second story so late at night
I wonder if you do like I do too

I wonder if you knew
Like I knew too

If we see each other
So clear this way
Why should we be thinking
Of things to say

I wonder if you do
Like I do too
I wonder if you knew
The way I see you tonight, ooh
The way I see you tonight, ooh

Looking back from the stars
I can see where you are
And I hope you'll be waiting

And if you see me too
And I hope that you do
Know that I will be waiting
