lyrics

I met you when the world was young
We were fleet of foot and sharp of tongue
We knew the words of the first songs sung
We were common, wild and free

You loved a girl she had kitten tattoos
From her tongue to the soles of her feet
You found a home in her sea green eyes
And the taste of that ocean was sweet

But you can’t come back like nothing’s changed
No you can’t come back like it’s all the same
You can tell everyone you were with me
You can make me your alibi

Riding the last train home
Like we did when we were kids
Riding the last train home
Screwing up like I always did
Riding the last train home
Always making those same mistakes
Riding the last train home
Like I always did with you

Take it as read I got thoughts in this head
That never stop spinning around
A child of the bomb and the wind and the rain
I scream but you don’t hear a sound

No you can’t come back like nothing’s changed
No you can’t come back like it’s all the same
You can tell everyone you were with me
You can make me your alibi

Riding the last train home
Like we did when we were kids
Riding the last train home
Screwing up like I always did
Riding the last train home
Always making those same mistakes
Riding the last train home
Like I always did with you

Sugar she always said it’s hard to find the good ones
Hold on tight for there’ll be calm in the eye of the storm
Don’t blame yourself, you can’t love everybody
Not much space between the strangeness and the charm

Riding the last train home
Like we did when we were kids
Riding the last train home
Screwing up like I always did
Riding the last train home
Always making those same mistakes
Riding the last train home
Like I always did with you
Like I always did with you
Like I always did with you
