Off the Railways
Well I’ve been lookin’ for a face in the streets
Callin’ hey or all you wanna be free
Things gonna lie down, sunlight opens up your mindset
Things gonna die down, or so I’ve heard
Well I’ve been waiting on a voice in a dream
Sounding off on what it already means
But I’m just a youngster, ain’t we all so existential?
I think I love her after all
Well I try to hit you up and tell you goodbye
Life is nothing but a piece of the pie
And I don’t know where to go anymore
Well I let it all go off the railways somedays
And I’ll let you know when the world’s gonna go it’s separate ways
I’ve been thinking we’ve been drinkin’ to all the wrong messages
Oh I’m still hung up on every word you said
Laid back and empathetic motions to strut
Face it there’s only so much left in the cup
But I got a head start, shortcut through the empty airwaves
I’ve got a cold heart or so I’ve heard
Well she talks like the kinda girls that I like
And she feels tender spirits comin’ to life
But I’m just a bastard, ain’t we all so open ended?
I think I passed her forever now
Well I try to hit you up and tell you goodbye
Life is nothing but a piece of the pie
And I don’t know where to go anymore
Well I let it all go off the railways somedays
And I’ll let you know when the world’s gonna go it’s separate ways
I’ve been thinking we’ve been drinkin’ to all the wrong messages
Oh I’m still hung up on every word you said
