you don't know me
but it's okay cuz I'm not from around this town at all
took a train here from the Eastside
with the girl who sat in the seat right next to me
and she stared out the window like it was looking back at her
and I relate
cuz I stare out the window wondering what is the matter with the world
but it's alright
we stayed up all night
the train tracks sound like a lullaby
and then I woke up with a note stuck to my thigh
it said
hello love, goodbye goodbye
hello love, goodbye goodbye

but we are always together
they won't break us but they will try
hello love but just for now we have to say goodbye
but we are always together
they won't break us but they will try
hello love but just for now we have to say goodbye

next stop
i met a mountain top
it told me that people forgot that their walls would fall
and i'm like
"yeah it's just a whole lot going on down there. And I really wanna stay but I've got a train that I need to go catch, so I guess I'll head down"
and on my way
I hear him say to me that we must nudge this world awake
I'm like "How? Working on myself is a full time job, no time to be pointing out nothin' else"
he smiled, "See you in a little while, go on, be on your way"
I said, "Hello love, goodbye goodbye. And thanks."
Hello love, goodbye goodbye

but we are always together
they won't break us but they will try
hello love but just for now we have to say goodbye
but we are always together
they won't break us but they will try
hello love but just for now we have to say goodbye

you don't know me but it's okay
I'm not from around this town at all
took a train here
what a train ride

hello love
hello love
hello love, goodbye goodbye
