Taxi Driver
Emma Copp
The beginning of life is hard -
That's what my taxi driver said
Spinning small talk up the FDR Drive
The beginning of life is hard -
I feel my chest clench up with dread
The soothing wisdom offered along the ride
I wanna cry at the sweetness
Sweet sweetness of it all
'Cause I know I don't deserve sympathy
Another angst-ridden white girl
Thinks she's special, city dreams
But my taxi driver smiles down on me
