Lyrics

Outbound Train

[Verse 1] How am I supposed to know When it's time to go In the middle of the night When I'm all alone Don't know what to do Don't know what I'm even supposed to say Like a train don’t moan Till it starts to roll away [Chorus] The cars don't move in the middle of the night Lost inside the void of the fading tail lights I swear I wasn't lonely when I met you, girl But I was so bored, I was so bored I don't know anything anymore [Verse 2] I got this achin' in my chest Rollin' around like a pile of bones In a broken little box It sounds a lot like you Laughing to yourself In a quiet room Our eyes knowing more Than they probably ought to [Chorus] The cars don't move in the middle of the night Lost inside the void of the fading tail lights I swear I wasn't lonely when I met you, girl But I was so bored, I was so bored I was so sure, I was so bored I was so bored, I was so bored I don't know anything anymore [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] The walls are all cracked The fan stutters in the room Where we slept Where I woke up next to you Sometimes a man don't know When he's got to walk away I hear a rumbling and a moan I feel like an outbound train [Chorus] The cars don't move in the middle of the night Lost inside the void of the fading tail lights I swear I wasn't lonely when I met you, girl But I was so bored, I was so bored I was so sure, I was so bored I was so bored, I was so sure I was so sure, I was so sure I was so sure I was so sure I was so sure I don't know anything anymore
