She reads "Brooklyn, Burning"
 When someone calls she turns to the wall
 Just a couple things I've noted
 And she takes the subway train
 At the citizens place she gets off
 I always wonder where she's going

 When the doors are closed and the moment's gone
 I can hardly wait for tomorrow's train [bad word] 
 And I, I don't know your name but you're mine
 Every morning 8:45
 I see you, you look up, I smile
 And I don't know how I can still be alive
 Cause every morning 8:45
 I see you, you look up, I die
 Every morning 8:45

 Have I passed her window?
 Have I crossed the street where she works?
 Will I ever get to know her?
 She could be fighting fire
 She could have a half time job at the mall
 I always wonder where she's going

 When the doors are closed and the moment's gone
 I can hardly wait for tomorrow's train [bad word] 
 And I, I don't know your name but you're mine
 Every morning 8:45
 I see you, you look up, I smile
 And I don't know how I can still be alive
 Cause every morning 8:45
 I see you, you look up, I die

 Will I ever find a way
 To say something that makes you stay
 Catch tomorrow's train today

 And I, I don't know your name but you're mine
 Every morning 8:45
 I see you, you look up, I smile
 Yeah I, I don't know how I can still be alive
 Every morning 8:45
 I see you, you look up, I smile
 And I don't know how I can still be alive
 Cause every morning 8:45
 I see you, you look up, I die
 Every morning 8:45
 Every morning 8:45
