The wheels start moving And you're on board... On the platform I missed the train by seconds I heard it was headed for A faraway city But I had no idea it would be leaving This soon
If we had said goodbye Would I have been able To put my feelings in order?
Once again I'm not riding the train to adulthood While I see it off The pain deep in my heart Teaches me something With such a sad farewell So that sunlight will shine down Upon this deep pool of despair I will conquer my sorrows
The moment the bell rang I wonder if you looked back The future you're leaving behind here Doesn't want you to go
If we made a promise To be on time Would I have come to see you leave?
You're riding the train to adulthood alone Towards a world unknown As I usually do I dream and make a wish That my time will come To journey away from this lonely place... But all I can do right now Is live out my frustrating adolescence
Love always ends halfheartedly I'm familiar with loneliness Youth is an awkward time With things left undone
Once again I'm not riding the train to adulthood While I see it off The pain deep in my heart Teaches me something With such a sad farewell So that sunlight will shine down Upon this deep pool of despair I will conquer my sorrows
