It began, a thought that lingered on
It became a wind that swept the room and tore apart the seams.
It's how we learned to breathe and it's how we learned to speak.
Can we stay just one more night, before the train comes down.
And if you're the first one to go, put in a good word for me
As the wheels spin, down the tracks ahead
I almost shed a tear, cause we can laugh at our lives
In the end, things just fell apart
As we always knew the best of life was never ours to reach
And now we learn to breathe
And now we learn to speak
Can we stay just one more night, before the train comes down.
And if you're the first one to go, put in a good word for me
As the wheels spin, down the tracks ahead
I almost shed a tear, cause we can laugh at our lives
If I asked you to come along, would you take me there
To the part where we first met, and we didn't see the signs
That said, this road goes nowhere
As the wheels spin, down the tracks ahead
I almost shed a tear, cause we can laugh at our lives
