Train

Dasha

6:35, 7:30 and 8:29

That thing was always on time

Cutting right through the dawn

As sharp as a knife

I could feel that cold metal grind

Like the tracks were right outside

Etched in my front lawn

 

The neighbors said it's nothing, but

The train's leaving the junction just

You wait a couple months and it'll fade away

 

'Cause time changes everything

You hang some pictures up and make

A habit out of taking the same way

To the grocery store

You learn the turns and time the lights

The town you didn't recognize

Becomes a little more like home

You'll know when you're

Used to the license plates

And you got a couple friends next door

Wake up and realize one day

That you don't hear the train anymore

 

Well, I couldn't sleep

Stayed up a couple nights a week

Thinking how much better I'd be

If I could ride the freight line outta there

The address still didn't seem right

The space inside didn't feel like

A place I could rest my head

Swear that bed wouldn't fit anywhere

 

The time changes everything

You hang some pictures up and make

A habit out of taking the same way

To the grocery store

You learn the turns and time the lights

The town you didn't recognize

Becomes a little more like home

You'll know when you're

Used to the license plates

And you got a couple friends next door

Wake up and realize one day

That you don't hear the train anymore, no more

You don't hear the train anymore, hmm

 

Anymore and then it

Just seems like part of the charm

It becomes ordinary

You'd kinda miss it if it stopped

And you're sure that every

Little thing you didn't like's still around

But it's better now

 

'Cause time changes everything

You hang some pictures up and make

A habit out of taking the same way

To the grocery store

You learn the turns and time the lights

The town you didn't recognize

Becomes a little more like home

And you'll know when you're

Used to the license plates

And you got a couple friends next door

Wake up and realize one day

That you don't hear the train anymore, no

You don't hear the train anymore
