[Intro: distant train, reversed piano] (choo-choo, ooh-ah-ah) [Warm 808 pulse] [Verse 1: melodic syncopated flow] Got a window seat in paradise Beautiful companions, beautiful ride Every station glows with somewhere new Every passing face, a life I never knew (oh-oh, never knew) [Pre-Chorus: climbing falsetto] The tracks are golden underneath So why's the leaving haunting me? [Chorus: soaring layered harmonies] Every town is calling my name Every road's a beautiful shame I'm on the train I wanted to ride But I'm falling for the passing countryside (ah-ah-ah, let me go!) How can I love where I belong And still want every place that's gone? [Drop: pitched vocal chops, sliding bass] (stay-stay, go-go) (bmm-ka-tss, ah-ee-ah!) [Bridge: stripped piano, fragile] I know a thousand destinations Can't fit inside a single life But knowing doesn't stop the ache Of every turn I didn't take [Outro: descending falsetto] (Next stop... never) [Train fades]
