lyrics

sitting on this train, I fell for you again
sitting in these padded seats, I felt your hands around my waist
sweating through a plain white blouse, I adorned my best dress in my mind
and we danced until the sun went down

back into the womb, I rewind progress
back into the town that I grew up and left
back when I was strong and never needed rest
I must go back in
and I must start again

life is something you get for free
and then you uncover the painful fee
that someone you love has left this place
for somewhere you won’t soon find the way

we were lovers so young and so serious
erasing all each other’s pain and loneliness
but over time, love left our hearts with vacancy
and so I went away
and now I’m coming back today

life is something you get for free
and then you uncover the painful fee
that someone you love has left this place
for somewhere you won’t soon find the way

riding on these rails, I try not to cry
the countryside flies by, and so does time
its vengeance against life, if we could deny the theft
of the sweetest souls we know
maybe the rest of us would stay afloat

life is something you get for free
and then you uncover the painful fee
that someone you love has left this place
for somewhere you won’t soon find the way
life is something you get for free
and then you uncover the painful fee
that someone you love has left this place
for somewhere you won’t soon find the way
