lyrics

why do I only read on trains?
the cites pass as i remain
still
is it transit or transition?
i'm always in transition
always in motion can't sit still

when i finally make the decision
look in the eyes of my grandfather
i'd do my best to try and make amends
with his daughter

with every page i feel the change
the steal cars switch tracks and sway
you know i only read on trains
on my way to see old friends

when i finally make the decision
look in the eyes of my grandfather
i'd do my best to try and make amends
with his daughter
and as i constantly change my opinion
to the words of my old instructors
i'd finally become as absent minded
train conductor

if i don't announce your stop
i didn't look
my eyes were at my knees
where i've placed my book
if you're lucky enough
to be in my care
i'd probably forget
to take your fare

and when my shift ends i'd look outside the window
thinking about leaving
