The tracks lie less than a mile from my house, so when I'm lying in bed at night, I can hear the trains passing through the darkness. I love that sound. I live for that sound. The trains are such a lonely symbol of romance to me because they are always coming and going, either bringing or taking away someone we love.
In this song, I think they represent the escape he craves. They are his way out of the place he is trapped in, and they are so loud, always calling him to make that escape. This song is the story of my life.
