Chasing Moving Trains Lyrics by Roy Blair
I miss 1817
Sometimes it feels like it didn’t happen
And I made it up for balance
For all the bad shit that’s happened
Nothing feels special anymore
I miss when nobody gave a fuck about me
Why’d I feel so empty in a room full of people who love me?
I miss the feeling from when you found me
I wish moments by myself
Were as meaningful as they should’ve been
I wish I was as empathetic to you as I could’ve been
I’m never alone now
And now home to me means hometown
Forgot how to hope
My roommate is broke
Lay in the middle of Times Square
Snow landing on my tongue
I can see my breathing pattern
Big screens light my hands on buildings
Off the hinges, been on caffeine binges
Dancing ’til the morning, blur in motion
This shit always feels like chasing moving trains
This shit—
This shit always feels like chasing moving trains
This shit, this shit always feels like chasing moving trains
(What’s that?)
I’ve lived off this high
When I was low
To be by your side
Just to let go
Now in morning light
Everybody’s gone home
But I’ve leaned on this life
It’s all I’ve known
I’ll never be good to you
Never be as good as you
Never be beautiful
Never be better me
Never be enough of love
Never have a way to get past this feeling
Never have a way to get past this feeling
Never have a way to get past this feeling
Never have a way to get past this feeling
Never have a way to get past this feeling
Sometimes I can’t recognize myself (Self, self)
Sometimes I can’t recognize myself (Self, self)
Sometimes I can’t recognize myself (Self, self)
Sometimes I can’t recognize myself (Self, self)
Twenty-three, I’ll find out, I’ll find out
You and me, I’ll find out, I’ll find out
Twenty-three, I’ll find out, I’ll find out
You and me, I’ll find out
