Trains

Sitting in a glass bowl
Waiting for a train to come
Take me out of this hole
Oh, I could take any one
As long as I get real far
Away from this station
As long as I get out of this
Out of my situation
I have an aching head
And tired eyes
And my father said
That you can’t disguise
Unhappy hearts
Left me at the crossroads
Won’t you bring me cross-country
And can you save my soul
I need the deep of the ocean
And the top of mountains
I cannot hide my emotions
So I’ll run away
Trying my best to seem
Happy on the face of it
God knows I’ve had practice
Telling stories
But they caught me and they know now
That our conversations
Were fake and I can see they’re
Running out of patience
A have an aching head
And tired eyes
And my mother said
You can’t disguise
Unhappy hearts
Left me at the crossroads
Will you bring me cross-country
And can you save my soul
I need the deep of the ocean
And the top of mountains
I cannot hide my emotions
So I’ll run away
