This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Been waiting for this train to come
Could be an hour or maybe some
Don't want to be here anymore
Do you have any idea
How long I've waited for this train
Picking up people along the way
A roller coaster another day
Climb aboard and slam the door
Don't want to be tied here anymore
Oh and it makes me wonder
Oh and it makes me wonder
If you need it if you don't
Could you leave it all to be alone
And it makes me wonder
Been waiting for this day too long
Looking for somewhere to run
Taking a ticket the other way
You better make up your mind
If you go or if you stay
Could be an hour or maybe some
Don't want to be here anymore
Do you have any idea
How long I've waited for this train
Picking up people along the way
A roller coaster another day
Climb aboard and slam the door
Don't want to be tied here anymore
Oh and it makes me wonder
Oh and it makes me wonder
If you need it if you don't
Could you leave it all to be alone
And it makes me wonder
Been waiting for this day too long
Looking for somewhere to run
Taking a ticket the other way
You better make up your mind
If you go or if you stay
