about

An evocative melody and fresh images feature in this relatable song of lost love.

lyrics

Last Train Home

I know, in the better part of me, it's time to go / I don't wanna leave 'cause I keep it close / These memories I keep close to me / Most days I think of how it was when we first met / When I first came to this city running from regret / and riding the bus over the river // CHORUS: Maybe it started so well the present pales in comparison / We were a tough act to follow / We were the last train home / But now last call is over and it's time to go // I can't resurrect the past from what we are now / We tried to get it back but it's gone somehow / You don't know it yet, but I do / Our love floated out the window down the fire escape / And we make-believe it's still here in an invisible cape / Maybe it is, how would we know // CHORUS // We can't drag this out forever like a re-run show / I'm sick of riding into the sunset when I know / I've gone as far west as I can go / So in the morning I think I'll try and head into the sunrise / I won't leave with excuses, I won't leave with lies / It'll just be better this way // CHORUS
