Lyrics

Black and white

The background shifts

Erasing time

Retracing steps

What are you going to do?

Before the fall

Before the flood

After the sinking feeling and the final cut

What are you going to do?

We’re all waiting for you

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Outbound train is always late

We stay lost inside our day

Inbound train, engine glows

Approaches home, never slows

Outbound train is flashing red

We stay lost inside our head

Inbound train, engine blows

Approaches home, never slows

What are you going to do?

We’re all waiting for you

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo
