Longer Than The Train (versione 2)

Verse

Bare soles on the platform, dusty toes in line

Ticket's burning between my fingers like a rhyme

The engine roars awake, smoke curls through the cold

Someone says this train don't stop for those who're old

Pre-Chorus

Hold your breath, hold it tight

Watch the distance shrink to night

Don't let go of what you've gained

Keep the long road in your veins

Chorus

I'll ride longer than the train

Longer than the track and dust and rain

Every station lights my name

Riding farther than I came

Verse 2

The windows leak a slice of sunset orange over the fields

A stranger's laughter cuts through steam like a well-aimed spear

Someone's door opens, someone's leaving in another town

I keep the rhythm in my chest and wear it as a crown

Pre-Chorus

Hold your breath, hold it tight

Watch the distance shrink to night

Don't let go of what you've gained

Keep the long road in your veins

Chorus

I'll ride longer than the train

Longer than the track and dust and rain

Every station lights my name

Riding farther than I came

Bridge

No map, no clock, just the hum of wheels

Just a heartbeat that keeps time with these steel walls

I don't need a destination to be free

This engine's pulse is where I'm meant to be

Chorus

I'll ride longer than the train

Longer than the track and dust and rain

Every station lights my name

Riding farther than I came
