A journey of introspection and longing unfolds in this poignant melody. The lyrics reflect a profound sense of yearning for authentic connections, meaningful relationships, and the simple joys of life. The train ride symbolizes life's journey - often filled with strangers, silence, and unfulfilled desires. The protagonist seeks more than just superficial interactions; they crave depth, growth, and a sense of belonging. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of life, there's a humble prayer for contentment if all wants cannot be met. This song beautifully encapsulates the human experience - our shared quest for love, understanding, and fulfillment even when faced with broken promises and disappointment. It serves as a gentle reminder that sometimes what we need is not always what we want but is ultimately what brings us true peace and happiness.
On the Train Ride Home
Lyrics
Waiting down at the station
I don't remember
I think it was late then
Standing, always so quiet
We're like elevators
Filled up with strangers
No sound, no Hallelujahs
Still I was praying on the train ride home
If I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need
Our words fill up the pages
Fill up the days with
Songs for the ages
Still those vows that we all speak
We break them like concrete
And just make our words cheap
I want someone to grow with
Songs I can sing to
And a family to cling to
But if I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need
Just give me what I need
