Corner of 5th and Main

[intro]
(ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba)
Waiting on the 42, waiting on the 42

[verse]
Rain was coming down light on a Tuesday afternoon
I had my collar up, humming half a tune
She was reading timetables like they were poetry
Missed her bus twice just standing next to me

[chorus]
At the corner of 5th and Main
The city stopped, time did the same
One smile on a steel bench seat
And suddenly my whole world felt sweet
At the corner of 5th and Main
Love rolled up on a city train

[verse]
She said, "You always waiting here at half past four?"
I said, "I am now, and forevermore"
We let three buses pass, didn't even care
Quarter in my pocket for a phone I wouldn't use elsewhere

[chorus]
At the corner of 5th and Main
The city stopped, time did the same
One smile on a steel bench seat
And suddenly my whole world felt sweet
At the corner of 5th and Main
Love rolled up on a city train

[bridge]
They say romance happens in some fancy place
But mine began with exhaust smoke and a bus stop sign
Transfers and transfers, but she took my hand
Said, "Baby, we can walk it, I ain't in a rush to land"

[chorus]
At the corner of 5th and Main
The city stopped, time did the same
One smile on a steel bench seat
And suddenly my whole world felt sweet

[outro]
(ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba)
Still catch the 42, just to feel it too
Corner of 5th and Main
That's where my heart remains
