You simplify your fate waiting for your train to come.
You're making friends with doubt and shaking hands with everyone.
Now you're taking what is given to you, playing back your lover's song.
And it's the only chance of leaving yourself, leave before I'm gone...
and all we need is reassurance, some sort of sign that things will be alright
but there's just too much that's riding on this and so much still out of sight.
And this is why I'm so distracted and now you won't understand
that this is my way of dealing and this is how I'm going to stand on my own, on my own.
You're leaving on that train heading towards the biggest dream.
Kissing lips of ambition, rubbing off on everything.
Now you head out before morning light
So you wouldn't have to say goodbye.
and all we need is reassurance, some sort of sign that things will be alright
but there's just too much that's riding on this and so much still out of sight.
And this is why I'm so distracted and now you won't understand
that this is my way of dealing and this is how I'm going to stand on my own, on my own.
You wait for a sign from me but you cannot see when you're blind to everything we tried to be.
Red lights are on your face again and you're not going anywhere, you fear what's ahead.
And they're all moving on but you don't know the way.
So you simplify your fate so I can stand right here.
So I can stand, stand right here.
