Calling Station

(album: Heart Beats Pacific - 2011)

She rubber her eyes, and faked a smile for me, and said
It's like I never go to sleep I just lay in bed

No dreams. It keeps me up
In an airport ball at midnight
Waiting for our plane to come
Waiting 'til we see this moonlight done
Until the morning sun

We're on our way as we hit the ground
And we find ourselves on plane two
Hard rain is pouring down
But if we're fast we'll catch the light rail

Gaining speed, and with every turn
We hold our breath. And we never learn our
Left from right and our right from wrong
And I wonder if they'll notice that we've gone
As we ride on out past the county line
We've got this moon light
No stop lights to slow us down
We can leave it on the line
And the world is mine. Never slip away
And lines around our face might not fade
I won't look back as we make this get away

Train light, it keeps me up
Keep on staring out this window
A late storm is drying out
It's showing cracks across the pavement
Out by the setting sun

We'll gaze out with a clearer view
And we look for signs in nothing
Crap show. A silver moon
Now I know that that means something

Gaining speed, and with every turn
We hold our breath. And we never learn our
Left from right and our right from wrong
And I wonder if they'll notice that we've gone
As we ride on out past the county line
We've got this moon light
No stop lights to slow us down
We can leave it on the line
And the world is mine. Never slip away
And lines around our face might not fade
I won't look back as we make this get away

We don't owe you a goddamn thing
What you got so you won't get any more from me
I'm done watching the clock inside
Tick away every second 'til I bleed dry
We'll get by

We don't owe a goddamn thing
What you got so you won't get any more from me
We're miles away from all that now
From the year that grays the frozen ground
We'll fly down past division street
And I see that you finally fell asleep
I think we just hit a stop
