Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And see there is no time to see
This time is just a melody
[Verse 2]
People in the street walking as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
Though my windows got a view well the frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for me now, so for now I
[Verse 3]
I need this old train to breakdown
Oh, please, just let me, please, breakdown
[Verse 4]
Well, this engine screams out loud
Saying this beat gonna crawl westbound
So I don't even make a sound
Because its gonna sting me when I leave this town
People in the street that I'll never get to meet
These tracks don't bend somehow
I got no time that I got to get to
Where I don't need to be
[Verse 5]
I need this old train to breakdown
Oh, please, just let me, please, breakdown
I need this old train to breakdown
Oh, please, just let me, please, breakdown
[Verse 6]
But you can't stop nothing if you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know
You don't know nothing but you don't need to know
The wisdoms in the trees not the glass windows
You can't stop wishing if you don't let go
The things that you find and you lose, and you know
You keep on rolling put the moment on hold
The frames too bright so put the blinds down low
[Verse 7]
I need this old train to breakdown
Oh, please, just let me, please, breakdown
I need this old train to breakdown
Oh, please, just let me, please, breakdown
