Where the Train Turns West

Testo

[Intro] You left your coffee by the window Still warm enough to tell me you were here [Verse 1] I read your note beside the kettle Two crooked lines and your apartment key You said you needed room to settle But left the door half-open for me I took the long way past the market Bought the peaches that you always choose The cashier asked if I was waiting I said, “No,” but I still checked the news [Pre-Chorus] If you call, I’ll let it ring once If you knock, I’ll know the sound I’m not asking for forever Just don’t disappear right now [Chorus] Meet me where the train turns west Bring the truth and nothing less I can take the hard part clean Say you’re done or say you need me No more guessing through the walls No more almost, no more pause If there’s something left to save Put it in my hands today [Verse 2] Your blue jacket’s on the chair still Sleeve caught underneath the wooden arm I could pack it in a cardboard box But I keep finding reasons to stay calm My sister says I’m losing sleep now I tell her I’m just working late Then your name lights up my screen and Every careful promise starts to break [Pre-Chorus] If you call, I’ll let it ring once If you knock, I’ll know the sound I’m not asking for forever Just don’t disappear right now [Chorus] Meet me where the train turns west Bring the truth and nothing less I can take the hard part clean Say you’re done or say you need me No more guessing through the walls No more almost, no more pause If there’s something left to save Put it in my hands today [Bridge] Maybe love is not a rescue Maybe pride is not a plan I can meet you in the middle If you meet me where I am [Final Chorus] Meet me where the train turns west Bring the truth and nothing less I can take the hard part clean Say you’re done or say you need me No more guessing through the walls No more almost, no more pause If there’s something left to save Put it in my hands today [Outro] The coffee’s cold beside the window But I’m still here, and I’m awake
