6.35,
7.30 and 8.29
That thing was always on time
Cutting right through the dawn
As sharp as a knife
I could feel that cold metal grind
Like the tracks were right outside
Etching my front lawn The neighbors said it's nothing but
The trains leaving the junction Just you wait a couple months
And they'll fade away
Cause time changes everything You hang some pictures up and make
A habit out of taking the same way To a grocery store
You learn the turns and time the lights The town you didn't recognize
Becomes a little more like home And you'll know when you're
Used to the license plates And you got a couple friends next door
You wake up,
realize one day That you don't hear the train anymore
Well I couldn't sleep,
stayed up a couple nights a week
Thinking how much better I'd be If I
could ride the freight line out of there
The address still didn't seem right The space inside didn't feel like
The place I could rest my head I swear that bed wouldn't fit anywhere
But time changes everything You hang some pictures up and make
A habit out of taking the same way To a grocery store
You learn the turns and time the lights The town you didn't recognize
Becomes a little more like home And you'll know when you're
Used to the license plates And you got a couple friends next door
You wake up,
realize one day That you don't hear the train anymore
No more, you don't hear the train anymore
Anymore, and then it
just seems like part of the charm
It becomes ordinary
You kind of miss it if it stopped
And then you're sure that every
little thing you didn't like's still around
But it's better now
Cause time changes everything You hang some pictures up and make
A habit out of taking the same way To a grocery store
You learn the turns and time the lights The town you didn't recognize
Becomes a little more like home And you'll know when you're
Used to the license plates And you got a couple friends next door
You wake up, realize one day
That you don't hear the train anymore
No,
you don't hear the train anymore
