Slow Train to Nowhere（版本 2）

Verse

Paper ticket ripped to confetti on the floor

Conductor's whistle calling out a door I've never known before

Bare feet dragging through the grass where the tracks used to be

Train don't wait for me, and that's okay, I'm free

I traded my watch for a paper cup of sky

Every stop is a goodnight, every goodbye turns into why

The hills are humming like they're keeping time with mine

This slow train's running nowhere fast, but it feels just fine

Pre-Chorus

So tell me when I'm home again

Tell me how the rhythm starts to spin

Is this a station or an ending

Or just the whole world falling in

Chorus

I'm riding on a slow train to nowhere

Watching every goodbye turn into gold

Barefoot through the summer, arms out wide and bare

This is where I find myself, nobody knows where

Verse

Fireflies keep time like a chorus line of light

Neighbors waving from the porch at the same hour tonight

I left my map back on the table by the door

I'm not heading anywhere, I just want more of this

Streetlights blur to silver as the night unwinds its rope

Every stranger passing through is someone I already know

The conductor's smiling like he owns the whole road

Says it's a long way home but we're getting older slower than gold

Pre-Chorus

So tell me when I'm home again

Tell me how the rhythm starts to spin

Is this a station or an ending

Or just the whole world falling in

Chorus

I'm riding on a slow train to nowhere

Watching every goodbye turn into gold

Barefoot through the summer, arms out wide and bare

This is where I find myself, nobody knows where

Bridge

Maybe home was never a place at all

Maybe it's this feeling before the sun lets fall

Every ticket stub is a promise not kept

I'm riding north just to see how far my heart can leap

Chorus

I'm riding on a slow train to nowhere

Watching every goodbye turn into gold

Barefoot through the summer, arms out wide and bare

This is where I find myself, nobody knows where
