[Verse 1] Caught your name on the rail Paint chipped, still there Fingers traced the letters Like a prayer in the air You left your mark on me Right there in the grain Even when the train moved on I felt it start again [Pre-Chorus] And I was almost gone Past the last red light Then your memory hooked me Pulled me back tonight [Chorus] On the rail, on the rail I keep coming back On the rail, on the rail Where your fingers left a track You said hold on tight Now I know what you meant On the rail, on the rail I’m not over it yet [Verse 2] Morning by the depot Cold wind in my sleeves One bent ticket in my pocket And your laugh in the trees I tried to walk it off Tried to change my line But every turn I take Brings me back in time [Pre-Chorus] And I was almost free Almost out of sight Then your memory hooked me Pulled me back tonight [Chorus] On the rail, on the rail I keep coming back On the rail, on the rail Where your fingers left a track You said hold on tight Now I know what you meant On the rail, on the rail I’m not over it yet [Bridge] If I let go now What am I left with? A faded name in metal And a heart that still drifts So I lean in close Let the whole world spin If I lose my way again I’ll find you there within [Final Chorus] On the rail, on the rail I keep coming back On the rail, on the rail Where your fingers left a track You said hold on tight Now I know what you meant On the rail, on the rail I’m not over it yet On the rail, on the rail I keep coming back On the rail, on the rail I’m not over it yet
