Waiting On A Train

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You were gonna be the one to tell me when you couldn't take it

Take it

And I was gonna be the one to tell you that it ain't so bad

But if nobody cares and why should we try hard

Don't make you crazy, were just

Spinning all around in circles on our head

And you said

I've been waiting on a train that'll never come

Hiding from the feeling of believing in someone

Come on, come on

I waited all this time

Every now and then I see a little bit of what I wasted

Wasted

And the sorry doesn't always, always disappear

But if I pack up my bags, forget where I came from

Maybe just stop drinking I could

Turn it all around till the one outside don't show

But I know

That I've been waiting on a train that'll never come

Hiding from the feeling of believing in someone

Come one, come on

I waited all this time

I was good at walking away and never looking behind me

I know

I was good at being the one you would expect to lose

But if we give it our best

And life is a dance floor

And you don't take nothing with you

Tell me what were saving up for all this time

If you don't mind

I'll be waiting on a train that'll never come

Hiding from the feeling of believing in someone

Come one, come on

I waited all this time

I'll be waiting on a train that'll never come

Hiding from the feeling of believing in someone

Come one, come on

I waited all this time
