Take The Train

[Verse 1]
I once walked into a man
He told me, “Listen up girl,” (he said) “you gotta go. Go! Get out of here!
“There’s a train that’ll take you where you need to be”
I asked, “Where does it go?”
He shrugged, said “I dunno
Honey, you tell me”
“But what am I running from and why can’t I go back?”
“People’s smiles may be white but their insides are black.”
“This is happening so quickly, can I take somebody with me?”
“You already have all you need, you’ll see”
He said to me…

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you waiting for? Why are you still here? (x2)

[Chorus]
The show is over now we wait for the applause
There’s that awkward silent pause
And I—
I can’t believe that you would die for that cause
And now you’re breaking your own laws
And making up lies
Your lies... your lies…

[Verse 2]
Still trying to figure out if I was right or wrong
I haven’t slept in so long, so long, so long
So I bought my ticket, there was no time to waste
And I boarded the train with exceptional haste
I wanted adventure, not just a taste
I had to get out of that place
The anxiety/is killing me/where does it lead?/I cannot see
These raindrops/they never stop/I miss you a lot/forget me not
Don’t forget me (x2)

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you waiting for? Why are you still here? (x2)

[Chorus]
The show is over now we wait for the applause
There’s that awkward silent pause
And I—
I can’t believe that you would die for that cause
And now you’re breaking your own laws
And making up lies
Your lies... your lies…
