lyrics

It never felt quite right, but I kept my mouth shut tight.
every time I got up to get dressed, I felt the words caught inside my chest.

Boys, boys, boys: be careful! Move over!
And girls, girls, girls: keep looking over your shoulder!
There's a train coming through.
It'll hit you if you don't move out the way.

Despite the evidence against I think you're essentially good.
I'm sure you would show me if you could.
But I've forgiven quite a bit, and I'm not sure you even remember it.

Boys, boys, boys: be careful! Move over!
And girls, girls, girls: keep looking over your shoulder!
There's a train coming through.
It'll hit you if you don't move out the way.

I think I was in love... or maybe it's a dream I'm thinking of.
Cause I'm not sure how it ended; I just remember I pretended I was fine.

I want to have a loving heart, but I think I may be missing a part.
Maybe it fell behind the bed or got left on the floor
when I was picking up all the pieces before.

Feeling deep is a dangerous thing, so I reserve that behavior for when I sing.
There's not a lot you can guarantee besides death and taxes and MELODY.

So, boys, boys, boys: be careful! Move over!
And girls, girls, girls: keep looking over your shoulder!
There's a train coming through.
It'll hit you if you don't move out the way.
