ALKALINE TRIO
"If We Never Go Inside"

A train appeared in town one night
For some of us it changed our lives
A few of us never saw it coming
Then like the fire it disappeared

It happens at a wonderful age
With the traffic lights your mind can change
We made up rules to follow for good
No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did

Tonight never ends if we never go inside
The moon is always full
Your calendar is always pinned on summertime

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run through the graveyard

A train appeared in town one night
For some of us it saved our lives
A few of us never saw it coming
Then like the fire we disappeared

It happens at a wonderful age
With the traffic lights your mind can change
We made up rules to follow for good
No wonder we're fucked up, some of us did

I'm just scared I might never say goodbye
I won't be around to hold you down
Pry open your ears and ask you why

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run through the graveyard

Is this why you've worked so hard?
Is this why you've run so far?
Same place, same hello, same goodbye
Helps you pick through beat up insides

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run through the graveyard
