I've been keeping you safe inside for the longest time   I've being trying to keep alive the paper kisses you sign   And even now when any body breathes you name    I prepare to feel that pain   Bearing down like a train coming through in a minute   Oh it's war, it's farce, it's cinema   It's one long ride an inch too far      The louder you scream, the faster you go   The more that you learn the less that you know   I brought a ticket and there's no way I can ride but alone   But somewhere it stops and that's letting go      Didn't want to be right tonight, you were out of line   I made a meal of this mess of mine for the very last time   And one day when you stumble, I won't break your fall   It won't hurt any more    But I'll ride on the train coming through in a minute   Going south and on so let it come   The train a ride won't always run      I got a ticket and it's going to take a while, going slow   But it's going to stop and that's letting go   I took my chances and I'm going to have to go with the flow   But somewhere it stops and that's letting go
