At the centre, “Subway” by Asa is about missed connections, the kind that linger long after they have slipped away. Asa sings like someone replaying a moment over and over, wondering what could have happened if fate paused just a little longer. You can hear that tender ache in her voice, the sweet disappointment of wanting something beautiful but watching it dissolve into the crowd. It’s love filtered through distance, timing, and unspoken words.

Every day is not a holiday
My life's like a subway o
I know this love don't last
Look at me tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real o
I know this love don't last
I have come from far away
To see this go down the drain
I have waited patiently
And this is what I get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express myself/but
The woman in me/o o o don’t fade away
My mama say baby be careful
If anybody comes to say I love you
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you
Now you asking me to trust you
Tell me how am I supposed to
When I know this love don't last
Could this be the kind of love?
That my mum use to warn me about
How will I know that this love will last
I have come from far away
To see this go down the drain
I have got so much to give
But I don't know what I'll get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express my self but
The woman in me don’t fade away.
My momma said baby be careful
if anybody comes to say I love you.
My papa said baby I warn you
if anybody comes to say I love you.
