Transcontinental, 1:30 a.m. Lyrics
wait
don't let this line go slack
don't go alone into the cold
wait
don't give up on this yet
I know that there's more you haven't told
wait my love
just one more thought
wait my love
I haven't got time in my life
to watch you drive out to sea
so please, wait
don't let this line go slack
I want to bring you back
to where I know you
wait
don't give up on this yet
I want you to let you let me hold you
wait my love
just one more thought
wait my love
i haven't got time in my life to watch you drift away
but i've all kinds of time if you'll stay
I know we're transcontinental, 1:30a.m.
and there's not even a wire, just a whispering in air
I know we're transcontinental, 1:30a.m.
but I'm here
don't let this line go slack
don't go alone into the cold
wait
don't give up on this yet
I know that there's more you haven't told
just one more thought
wait my love
I haven't got time in my life
to watch you drive out to sea
don't let this line go slack
I want to bring you back
to where I know you
don't give up on this yet
I want you to let you let me hold you
wait my love
just one more thought
i haven't got time in my life to watch you drift away
but i've all kinds of time if you'll stay
and there's not even a wire, just a whispering in air
but I'm here

I feel like this might be about a person who is leading themselves on a path of self destruction- isolating themselves instead of letting themselves be “held” by other people or rely on them. She wants them to “come back” and be present with her so that they don’t ruin themselves.
clearly, this song is about two people who live far apart. The narrator wants to be in a relationship despite the distance, but finds herself feeling farther and farther away from her loved one.
The first time I ever heard this song was while I was reading "Atlas Shrugged" - this song will always be connected to Hank Reardon and Dagny Taggart in my mind.
