The Train I Ride

I've been keeping you safe inside, for the longest time
I've been trying to keep alive, paper kisses you sign
And even now when anybody breathes your name
I prepare to feel the pain

Bearing down like a train comin' through in a minute
Oh it's war, it's farce, it's cinema
It's one long ride an inch too far

The louder you scream, the faster you go
The more that you learn the less that you know
I brought a ticket and there's no way I can ride but alone
But somewhere it stops, that's letting go
And that's letting go

Didn't want to be right tonight, you were out of line
I made a meal of this mess of mine for the very last time
And one day when you stumble, I won't break your fall
It won't hurt any more

But I'll ride on the train comin' through in a minute
Goin' south and on so let it come
The train a ride won't always run

The louder you scream, the faster you go
The more that you learn the less that you know
I got a ticket and it's gonna take a while, goin' slow
But it's gonna stop and that's letting go
I took my chances and I'm gonna have to go with the flow
But somewhere it stops and that's letting go

The louder you scream, the faster you go
The more that you learn the less that you know

Bearing down like a train comin' through in a minute
Bearing down like a train comin' through in a minute
