Last Train Home

Verse 1

Yellow sign flickering low

Platform empty and cold

Pocket full of torn ticket stubs

Guess I've been here before

Snow starting to fall sideways

Breath a ghost in the air

Half the town is sleeping now

And half is everywhere

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I should stay

Maybe I should go

The doors are hissing open

And the whistle's soft and low

Chorus

Last train home

Or the one that takes me far

Last train home

Don't know which direction

Where my heart is

Where the tracks are

Last train home

I'm climbing on anyway

Post-Chorus

Choo choo

Choo choo

Going going going

Choo choo

Verse 2

Streetlight pools like honey

On the frost across the lane

Got a house that waits for someone

Got a name I can't reclaim

Somebody's got my coffee cup

Somebody's got my key

But something out past the depot

Keeps calling after me

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm the runaway

Maybe I'm the one who stays

The conductor's waving slowly

Like he knows my shifting days

Chorus

Last train home

Or the one that takes me far

Last train home

Don't know which direction

Where my heart is

Where the tracks are

Last train home

I'm climbing on anyway

Post-Chorus

Choo choo

Choo choo

Going going going

Choo choo

Bridge

Two directions on a single line

Same old moon above it all

I could wave goodbye to everything

Or watch the window frame the fall

Either way the wheels keep rolling

Either way I'm on this ride

The brakeman says the next stop

Is where I get off inside

Chorus

Last train home

Or the one that takes me far

Last train home

Don't know which direction

Where my heart is

Where the tracks are

Last train home

I'm climbing on anyway

Outro

Choo choo

Choo choo
