The whistle cries
The wheels start to hum
A suitcase packed
But the words don't come
Windows blur as the miles unwind
Leaving behind what was never mine
Take me where the tracks collide
Where hearts are heavy
But dreams don't hide
The last train home
It calls my name
A one-way ticket
Nothing's the same
The station's dim
A clock spins slow
I trace the map of where I won't go
Faces pass
Their stories untold
The air smells sharp
The night feels cold
And the steel sings low
Like it knows my pain
Every turn
A question
Every mile
A chain
Take me where the tracks collide
Where hearts are heavy
But dreams don't hide
The last train home
It calls my name
A one-way ticket
Nothing's the same
The rails don't care if you're wrong or right
They just carry you far from the fight
And though the distance might seem kind
What you leave behind stays in your mind
