lyrics

Last Train Leaving

I took the last train leaving
Escape the world stare down the moon
I’ll be awake by seven
Watching the sunshine swallow you

She took the first seat open
I closed the blinds enjoyed the view
Is there a place like heaven
Is there a chance you’ll make it through

Quietly she screams
Follow me through hollow scenes tonight
Silence becomes sound
As the past floats into now despite
All we do

Say goodnight say goodbye
It’s gonna be a cold July
Longer night’s longer lines
Stole the color from her eyes
Say goodnight say goodbye
To your California ties
And stay right where you are

This wind is blowing colder
Than all your whispers in my ears
Maybe we’re lost forever
Cursing the day that led us here

A taste of wishful thinking
I close my eyes and look for you
Is there a place like heaven
Is there a chance I’ll make it too

Quietly she screams
Fall asleep right next to me tonight
Silence becomes sound
As the past floats into now despite
All we do

Say goodnight say goodbye
It’s gonna be a cold July
Longer night’s longer lines
Stole the color from her eyes
Say goodnight say goodbye
To your California ties
And stay right where you are

Little lies are just acoustic shadows in the skies

It’s gonna be a cold July
It’s gonna be a cold July
It’s gonna be a cold July
It’s gonna be a cold July

So stay right where you are
So stay right where you are
So stay right where you are
Stay right where you are
Right where you belong
