A train appeared in town one night
For some of us it changed our lives
A few of us never saw it coming,
Then like the fire it disappeared
It happens at a wonderful age,
With the traffic lights your mind can change
We made up rules to follow for good,
No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did

Tonight never ends if we never go inside
The moon is always full
Your calendar is always pinned on summertime

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole
Or don't you remember hold your breath
Walk don't run through the graveyard

A train appeared in town one night
For some of us it saved our lives
A few of us never saw it coming,
Then like the fire we disappear
It happens at a wonderful age,
With the traffic lights your mind can change
We made up rules to follow for good,
No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did

I'm just scared I might never say goodbye
I won't be around to hold you down,
Pry open your ears and ask you why

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole
Or don't you remember hold your breath
Walk don't run through the graveyard

Is this why you've worked so hard?
Is this why you've run so far?
Same place, same hello, same goodbye
Helps you pick through beat up insides

    this song is definitely the lyrical killer on this album, i tried my best but it was too cryptic for me, anyone feel free to im me with any ideas that might occur to you.

    A train appeared in town one night, for some of us it changed our lives A few of us never saw it coming, then like the fire it disappeared (the "train" is the keyword which i couldn't figure out, if we knew if the "train" was figurative or literally a train then the song should make sense but i don't really know; my only guess is that a train derails in a small town and it kills a bunch of people that would explain the "changed some of our lives" and they removed the train when they cleaned the area so it "disappeared" ) It happens at a wonderful age, with the traffic lights your mind can change We made up rules to follow for good (modern technology changed everything?) No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did (no wonder were fucked up, some of us did fuck up) Tonight never ends if we never go inside The moon is always full Your calendar is always pinned on summertime (time stands still or the dead, never to go inside or see a day pass again) Were you planning on staying forever? (did you think your life would never end) You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember? (this couldn't happen to you) Hold your breath Walk, don't run, through the graveyard ("hold your breath" is a play on the old superstition to hold your breath when you passing a graveyeard but the dead person literally can't breathe, take your time going through the graveyard in your hurse it'll be your last trip you ever make) A train appeared in town one night, for some of us it saved our lives (it changed everyone's lives, for some of us who survived we turned our lives around in the right direction after it happened ) A few of us never saw it coming, then like the fire we disappear (like the fire the train disappeared and so did those who died)

    I'm just scared I might never say goodbye I won't be around to hold you down, pry open your ears and ask you why (i'm afraid i'll die before i get to say goodbye, i won't be here to take care of you anymore)

    Is this why you've worked so hard? Is this why you've run so far? Same place, same hello, same goodbye (everything is the same but different, everyone is affected somehow) Helps you pick through beat up insides (the scars stay with the survivors)

    looking back at this i could only see one other explanation and that is that the "train" is an analogy for some other catastrophe that happens and is gone right after like a tornado ~DS
