Adam Marsland Trains lyrics

I never had time for fate
Things happened for me
But they happened to late
So many plans were laid
But my execution was too long delayed

Here we stand, hand in hand
Terrified to lose the grip
On either side, we got trains to ride
Parallel lines of steel
That never meet, they just grab the wheel

Now I know everything fits
It'll all work out if I let it
Close your eyes and jump ship
I never believed it but now I get it

I had a long, long list
Of desire and ambitions that dissolved in my fist
With never a moment to waste to succumb to temptations so close I could taste them
And I was alone, longing for home
But I was confused
On either side, we got trains to ride
Parallel lines of steel
That never meet, they just grab the wheel

Now I know everything fits

It'll all work out if we let it
Close your eyes and jump ship
I never believed it but now I get it

And all the things you're scared to lose
Relationships you're loath to choose
Offers you could not refuse
Let them go

The lies you told to keep the peace
The fires you couldn't quench nor cease
The going west and facing east
Let them go

The ties that hold you to this earth
The death and work and school and birth
The points you proved, for all they're worth
Let them go

The goalposts moving down the road
The building 'til you explode
The debts you paid and those you owed
Let them go
Let them go.
