lyrics

Among the birds, she sits in the dirt
Trying to pretend that she isn't hurt
Sandwich in one hand, cigarette in the other
Just missed her flight, on the phone with her mother

Black jeans, red winter coat, green hair
The smoke gently wiggles up into the air
She gives into the pigeons and shares her meal
She wonders what it’s like to be a bird - how would it feel?

Do you wonder why? Do you wonder how?
Everybody’s somewhere right now

At a table, he sits with a chocolate scone
Sipping apple juice while his grown parents drone
Crumbs tumbling everywhere, and he doesn’t notice
Small water bottle is labeled as “Otis”

Across the room she holds a heavy door open
Getting impatient and letting the cold in
She snaps at her mother to hurry it up
Her mother’s refilling her ice water cup

Do you wonder why? Do you wonder how?
Everybody’s somewhere right now

Young arms around a two-year-old are covered in ink
She can’t help but worry what passersby think
But she’s a great mom, not too far from a saint
And her daughter likes to color in her tattoos with paint

Round orange glasses, and smaller than the other kids
Waddling down the streets of Boston
He wraps his arms tightly ‘round his body
Trying not to let the frost in

Do you wonder why? Do you wonder how?
Everybody’s somewhere right now

A waitress with dark braids in a yellow dress
Clearly friendly, clearly under unfair stress
Five colored pens in her apron pocket
Sticker-covered server notepad, silver heart-shaped locket

Old man in a poncho, taking his time
Every step makes this walk feel more like a climb
Life is uphill and it keeps getting steeper
So why have respect for the pedestrian gatekeeper?

Do you wonder why? Do you wonder how?
Everybody’s somewhere right now

Do you wonder why? Do you wonder how?
Everybody’s somewhere, everybody’s somewhere
Everybody’s somewhere right now
