[Verse 1: Dan Andriano]

A train appeared in town, one night

For some of us, it changed our lives

A few of us never saw it coming

Like the fire, it disappeared

Happened at a wonderful age

With the traffic lights, your mind can change

Made up rules to follow for good

No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did

The night never ends if we never go inside

The moon is always full

Your calendar is always pinned on summertime


[Chorus]

Were you planning on staying forever?

You don't fit in this hole, don't you remember?

Hold your breath

Walk, don't run, through the graveyard


[Verse 2]

A train appeared in town one night

For some of us, it saved our lives

A few of us never saw it coming

Like the fire, we disappeared

Happened at a wonderful age

With the traffic lights, your mind can change

Made up rules to follow for good

No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did

I'm just scared I might never say goodbye

I won't be around to hold you down

Pry open your ears, ask you why


[Chorus]

Were you planning on staying forever?

You don't fit in this hole, don't you remember?

Hold your breath

Walk, don't run, through the graveyard

Were you planning on staying forever?

You don't fit in this hole, don't you remember?

Hold your breath

Walk, don't run, through the graveyard


[Bridge]

Is this why you work so hard?

Is this why you run so far?

Same place, same hello, same goodbye

Helps to get through beat-up insides


[Chorus]

Were you planning on staying forever?

You don't fit in this hole, don't you remember?

Hold your breath

Walk, don't run, through the graveyard

Were you planning on staying forever?

You don't fit in this hole, don't you remember?

Hold your breath

Walk, don't run, through the graveyard
