Where the Tracks Divide

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found your note beneath the ticket machine Folded twice, still carrying your coffee stain It said, “Take the train until the river turns green” So I stepped aboard and forgot my name [Pre-Chorus] Every door is asking where I’ve been Every mile is loosening the chain [Chorus] Build me a platform I can stand upon One solid place when the ground keeps moving on If I fall, let the next step meet my feet I’m not waiting for a sign anymore I’m heading where the tracks divide and disappear [Verse 2] There’s a red umbrella leaning by the gate A child is counting sparks along the rail The conductor says the last one leaves at eight I hear my better judgment through the hail [Pre-Chorus] Every door is asking what I choose Every mile is giving back my voice [Chorus] Build me a platform I can stand upon One solid place when the ground keeps moving on If I fall, let the next step meet my feet I’m not waiting for a sign anymore I’m heading where the tracks divide and disappear [Bridge] No map, no borrowed alibi No hand to tell me when to try I brought the fear I couldn’t lose And made it something I could use [Final Chorus] Build me a platform I can stand upon One solid place beneath the turning dawn If I fall, let the next step meet my feet I’m not waiting for a sign anymore I’m heading where the tracks divide and disappear [Outro] The doors close softly behind me The rails begin to sing I take the open crossing And let the distance in
