Before the Rumble Comes

You press your ear against the track and smile

We got time

To lay your body and your soul on mine

Time

Before the rumble comes and words are spoken

We collide

Say, can you trust a man whose heart's been broken

Like mine?

Like mine?

Like mine

I fill my lungs with your whole atmosphere

So I

Will try to hold my breath and keep you here

I'll try

Before the rumble comes and shakes our senses

We'll lie

And maybe we'll avoid the consequences

This time

This time

This time

Let love shine

Use all the clichés

Let the rails ring like thunder

But hold against the weight

Now there's a never-ending train between us

It's loud

I hold my ears but I can still hear you screaming

Inside

And when it passes, though we'll both lose freedom

In our eyes

We'll see the reasons and we'll know the journey
