Lyrics
I know it's nice to be wanted
I know you want to be needed
But my friend, what can I do
To help you realize
She's not right for you?
I don't know you well,
But I know you're a kindred heart.
I saw your soul
Before it fell apart
I saw you board that train
Before the ticket was in your hand.
It's not what you planned
It's not what you planned.
And after all the times you said
you wouldn't settle,
Your lonely heart took over for you.
And now I know there's not much else
That I can do.
I know I should've just
let you be
But you didn't have to disconnect me.
The train is disappearing down the
track towards the moon.
It happened too soon.
It was way too soon.
And after all the times you said
you wouldn't settle,
Your lonely heart took over for you.
And now I know there's not much else
That I can do.
