Looking back, I should’ve warned her that
I leave myself at times.
Looking back, I think I did.
I always saw all this coming.

We only hear what we want to.
We only do what we please.
Steel starts spinning on the rails,
but the train’s not goin’ nowhere.
Wright’s on the stereo.
Life’s on, it’s staring us all in the face.
You could make it easy but you can’t stop the race.
Won’t stop the race.
Steel starts spinning.
My wheels start moving.

puddles from pain stood still on the corner.
Stumbling back, she tried to warn him that
she must do what she needs.
Looking back, I think she did.

We should’ve let us trust time.
He brings his bag full of brilliance.
She brings her bag full of wild.

They make a home out of smiles.
Looking back, I think they did.
