High Speed Train lyrics

When I look into your eyes

Your drop like an anchor eyes

I scudded and clipped the sky

Just shy of making it

And you almost got away

I told you I was afraid

Did I really want to try

You're holding me to my claim

I jump on a high speed train

I'll never look back again

I flail like the antelope

Who jumped from the building

And you caught me on the sly

You've taken me by surprise

You've mirrored my best disguise and

Turned it back on me

I jump on a high speed train

I'll never look back again

I flail like the antelope

Who jumped from the building

I jump on a high speed train

I'll never look back again

I flail like the antelope

Who jumped from the building

I'll bring you a big bouquet

I picked it myself today

It compliments your eyes

There's love at the end of the line

I jump on a high speed train

I'll never look back again

I flail like the antelope

Who jumped from the building

I jump on a high speed train

I'll never look back again

I flail like the antelope

Who jumped from the building

And that's what I always knew

I'd like to have hung the moon

I'd wrestle you for a spoon inside your sleeping bag

Just us

No war, no hate, no past

It's real

I'm here, I'm yours, I'm fast

I'm long in the eye

I'm cry when I try

I just want to fly

Just you and I, together
