Midland Line

I remember the times

They were paper thin

I could feel your heartbeat through your skin

Before we let the darkness in

Words held their meaning

You were the black sheep, but we were a team

We never fit in no to anyone’s scene

Looking back, was it all just a dream

Words held their meaning

We never wasted time

Held our breath ‘til there wasn’t a sound

We can’t turn back time to the days when you were around

Back in the day when I first met you

In the back seat of the Benz

There was a day when I first kissed you

Was the beginning of the end

So many wasted sunsets

So many wasted nights

So many wasted moments

By the tracks of the Midland line

I remember the night that you let me in

You were a broken heart, I was lost within

You were falling apart, we were high on everything

A life without meaning

Hanging by a thread, we were seventeen

Could it be the end, you said you’d never leave

Running through my head are all the things you said to me

When you were my meaning

We never wasted time

Held our breath ‘til there wasn’t a sound

We can’t turn back time to to the days when you were around

Back in the day when I first met you

In the backseat of the Benz

There was a day when I first kissed you

Was the beginning of the end

So many wasted sunsets

So many wasted nights

So many wasted moments

By the tacks of the midland line

Now you're gone and it’s been three years since yesterday

Now you’re gone and I’m a mess

I remember the times

They were paper thin

I could feel your heartbeat through your skin

Before we let the darkness in

Your words held their meaning

Back in the day when I first met you

In the backseat of the Benz

There was a day when I first kissed you

So many wasted sunsets

So many wasted nights

So many wasted moments

By the tracks of the Midland line
