I'm waiting for a train that never comes
The station floor is lined with scattered pictures
Of places I thought that I would go
The way forward through pain that's left me numb
Is still unsure the compass was a promise
To shine here, to make it on your own

So you keep on waiting, wanting
Faking you're someone
You're not reaching, longing
Changing for someone
Till you realize
You're still just stuck here
Waiting for
A train that never comes

Back at the start, you bet a lot on hope
When there's a million different branching roads
Every decision, every line you wrote
There was a vision with each chord and every note
Blank refrains came to life in darkness
Crowded cities, crisis and catharsis
So don't leave it alone, no don't leave me alone
You can say you miss home, back where your heart is
A voice rings out cutting the noise
And maybe it's hopeless change without choice
Disaster and wonder, laughter through tears
The hourglass turns, we'll blink and the years have gone by
In a lifetime where nothing's set in stone
Oh, no

So you keep on waiting (waiting), wanting (wanting)
Faking you're someone
You're not reaching (reaching), longing (longing)
Changing for someone
Till you realize
You're still just stuck here
Waiting for
A chance to make it real

Everything you've wanted
Was right before your eyes
And in time, you'll find them again
Impossible dreams for a moment in this fleeting life
You'll stand in the light of
All that you could be

I waited for a train that's come and gone
For something more, I guess I'm walking home now
But you'll find me no matter where I go
