Waiting on a Train Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were gonna be the one
To tell me when you couldn't take it, take it
And I was gonna be the one to tell you that it ain't so bad

[Pre-Chorus]
But if nobody cares
Then why should we try hard
Don't it make you crazy
We're just spinning all around
In circles on our head
And you said

[Chorus]
I've been waiting on a train that'll never come
Hiding from the feeling of believing in someone
Come on, come on, I waited all this time

[Verse 2]
Every now and then I see
A little bit of what I wasted, wasted
And the sorry doesn't always, always disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I pack up my bags
Forget where I came from
Maybe just stop drinking
I could turn it all around
'Till the one outside don't show
But I know
[Chorus]
That I've been waiting on a train that'll never come
Hiding from the feeling of believing in someone
Come on, come on, I waited all this time

[Verse 3]
I was good at walking away
And never looking behind me, I know
I was good at being the one you would expect to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
But if we give it our best
And life is a dance floor
And you don't take nothing with you
Tell me what were saving up for all this time
If you don't mind

[Chorus]
I'll be waiting on a train that'll never come
Hiding from the feeling of believing in someone
Come on, come on, I waited all this time
I'll be waiting on a train that'll never come
Hiding from the feeling of believing in someone
Come on, come on, I waited all this time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
