Missed the Train by Ten Seconds, Ran Anyway

Lyrics

I saw the doors begin to close
I ran down the stairs, two at a time
My shoes were wet, my bag was open
A banana flew out in the rain
The train rolled out without me
I waved at the window glass
A little kid waved back at me
And I laughed out loud

I missed the train by ten seconds
Ran anyway, ran anyway
I missed the train by ten seconds
Soaked and shouting, hey!
Another one comes in twenty
Nobody's mad at me
I missed the train, I ran anyway

The platform clock said two past six
The roof was leaking on my head
A lady gave me half her muffin
And a man shared his umbrella too
We stood there in a row
All of us a little late
Singing something silly
Waiting in the rain

I missed the train by ten seconds
Ran anyway, ran anyway
I missed the train by ten seconds
Soaked and shouting, hey!
Another one comes in twenty
Nobody's mad at me
I missed the train, I ran anyway

Late is okay
Late is okay
Everybody say
Late is okay

I missed the train by ten seconds
Ran anyway, ran anyway
I missed the train by ten seconds
Soaked and shouting, hey!
Another one comes in twenty
Nobody's mad at me
I missed the train, I ran anyway

I ran anyway
Hey!
