Girl, you and I will die unbelievers
Bound to the tracks of the train
-I hear this as a response to the claim that there are 'no atheists in a foxhole' -- meaning that if you know you are about to die you will quickly accept god. But here the singer is refuting that claim. Being bound to the tracks means you know your death is imminent and yet, they'd still die as unbelievers.
It's interesting that the song is overtly about religion, possibly the biggest philosophical subject matter there is, and yet Ezra uses this huge subject as a metaphor for something smaller and more personal - specifically a relationship.
