I use to dream about jumping on trains and riding away But now I know how slow they go I would run for miles so fast So I could let my thoughts slow I’ve always looked for something quick to take me or save me Maybe that’s why I gave so many people my heart And walked away So pieces of my soul are moving everywhere Even though my body has to stay. But now I’m leaving the city In only a few days To a small, quiet place Where the heart doesn’t fit A loving coup de grace I could stand on a grassy hill And scream for my home But the air here stands still Here, I am alone. A city doesn’t hear such pleas When sound only projects out So city, please. Remember me.

Train, City
I use to dream about jumping on trains and riding away But now I know how slow they go I would run for miles so fast So I could let my thoughts slow I’ve always looked for something quick to take me or save me Maybe that’s why I gave so many people my heart And walked away So pieces of my soul are moving everywhere Even though my body has to stay. But now I’m leaving the city In only a few days To a small, quiet place Where the heart doesn’t fit A loving coup de grace I could stand on a grassy hill And scream for my home But the air here stands still Here, I am alone. A city doesn’t hear such pleas When sound only projects out So city, please. Remember me.
