lyrics

Trying to capture a shiver, turning aches into words
All those things I wish I said, the secrets I never told
Now they just drift out from these fingers on a piano alone
Coming home, I felt an itch inside, so I just drove and drove
Same old thought, but tonight I knew what I couldn't postpone
There's a sadness comes when a man finds his dreams weren't his own

Our words are failing
The quiet is stifling
We're all just strangers on this train

We've seen a lot, learned to trust with our ears when the bands played
Felt that line between what we'll keep and what we're willing to trade
I made some hard choices because the world takes the rest away

Our words are failing
The quiet is stifling
We're all just strangers on this train
Memories are fading
I'm watching dry lightning
We're all just strangers on this train

It's so hard to really know someone's mind
Words are a poor substitute for what we have inside
So sometimes I just choose the lie
