[Verse 1]

I don't have a reflection of anybody checking

Their face in the shade of my glasses

One-way ticket on the fast train

And I'm solo all the way

I could maybe read a novel to push away the trouble

That sits in the pit of my tummy

But I know that it will find me

When I finish the last page


[Pre-Chorus]

An empty hand, I wave goodbye

I feel a tickle in my eye


[Chorus]

No, I'll never sever any tie

Tired of the journey, no hand held in mine

No, I'll never sever any tie

Tired of the journey, no hand held in mine


[Verse 2]

Well, I always feel it more on a day when there's a storm

Or a rain cloud, so dangerous and lonely

No one ever told me

That the darkness is my foe

And I'm looking out the window and losing both my dimples

The end to the ends of my smile

'Cause I am a thousand miles

From the place I need to go


[Pre-Chorus]

And empty hand, I wave goodbye

I feel a tickle in my eye


[Chorus]

No, I'll never sever any tie

Tired of the journey, no hand held in mine

No, I'll never sever any tie

Tired of the journey, no hand held in mine
