[Verse] Brother tell me now
How you got this far but haven’t given out
I’ve fantasized about our future selves
The part in which we die beneath the sunny drinking belt
If you and I had made a train to travel far from hell
I think we’d have a story to tell

[Verse 2] Grandpa on the platform
Staring at his knees that got so worn
A penny on his shoes to keep him checked
A parka on his skin to every inch except his neck
Heavy boots in evening blues were things he knew quite well
After all we’re just waiting for the swell

[Verse 3] Oh love, you got it bad
It picks you up and drops you off so fast
It feels like starting over every time
No matter what you say or choose you never get it right
But so far what I’ve learned is that it doesn’t hurt to try,
So till it does I’ll do my best tonight

[Verse 4] Baby, come on back
Your feet are all so dirty from those tracks
I wish that I had met you on the way
Instead of at the start where I could not find what to say
Regrets like saying no and being fickle, general sway
We don’t really talk so much these days
