[Intro]

On an outbound train

Surrounded by strangers

I wonder just where they'll go

And as the world flies by

Right outside my window

I see the birds in the sky

With nowhere else to be

[Refrain]

As our train car derails

And rolls into the ocean

I'll be honest, I wouldn't miss a thing

About these cold-hearted towns

And the distance between everyone here

And everything

[Chorus]

As the world flies by outside of my window

I'll be honest, I wouldn't miss a thing

[Verse 1]

When compassion is dead

We'll drown ourselves in a sea of paper

That glitters like gold

Some say that hate

That it speaks in whispers

But I can hear

But I can hear

Some say that hate (Some say that hate)

That it speaks in whispers

But I can hear their curdling screams

[Refrain]

And as our train car derails

And rolls into the ocean

I'll be honest, I’ll be honest

About everything

About everything

[Chorus]

As the world flies by outside of my window

I'll be honest, I wouldn't miss a thing

As the world flies by outside of my window (As the world flies by)

I'll be honest, I’ll be honest

About everything

[Verse 2]

With the exception of a few familiar faces (As the world flies by outside of my window)

This place will

This place will never feel like home (As the world flies by)

So we keep our distance and we learn to say goodbye (As the world flies by outside of my window)

This place will

This place will never feel like home to me (As the world flies by)

[Outro]

As the world flies by outside of my window

As the world flies by

As the world flies by outside of my window

As the world flies by
