Lovett - Like a Moving Train

The day slipped away
Gone as quickly as it came
I was some place I could not stay
I shot through town like a moving train

Everyone I met was just another
Another one who left his home behind
All of us in search of what lay down their line
Only to find nothing new
Waiting there to see you through

Then all I lost and found seemed more or less the same
And kept me on my way
Like a moving train

Everywhere was the same
I got twisted like an open flame in a hurricane
Between an ocean and a desert
Running out of proof

Between the city and myself
Tryin to find some truth
Only to find there ain’t no truth
There’s only that which you choose

Then all I lost and found seemed more or less the same
And kept me on my way
Like a moving train

Till I had nowhere to go
Every place, I could not stay
I left with no way to know
Know whether my debt be hell to pay
If I ever come back this way

So when that train comes around
It might pick you up or run you down
The less you take, the more is left to make it right
Even if it’s wrong and you hang on, it just might
Take you back to where you started out tonight

So I had to find out
Oh, I had to find out
I had to find myself a better way
And every place, I could not stay
Just slipped away
Like a moving train
