Lyrics

I fell in love
With a girl from the country
I fell in love
With the first girl who asked me to stay
When I hit the ground
It was clear that she knew all about me
I fell in love with the idea
That life would be easy this way

And sometimes you can't keep the faith
In the one that you love
The best you can do is to
Realize that you've had enough
When the light in the distance
Has gotten so close it could blind you
You'll realize that she's not the train
She's the track that you're tied to

We had a life
Built it under our feet
We had a home
That was cold all along
I wish it was more than
Than initials we carved in the concrete
You can't change you your mind
Like you can't change the path that you're on

Sometimes the things that you hate
Are the ones that you loved
And the best you can do is to
Realize that you've had enough
When the light in the distance
Has gotten so close it could blind you
You'll realize that she's not the train
She's the track that you're tied to

Sometimes you can't take it back to
The way that it was
And the best you can do is to
Realize that you've had enough
When the light in the distance
Has gotten so close it could blind you
You'll realize that she's not the train
She's the track that you're tied to
