lyrics

Hey you
Standing there at your door
Waitin’
On inspiration like a summer storm
But
You’ve got to jump on board
You’ve got to jump on

Hey you
Gazing up at the stars
Waitin’
For love to seize you like a holy war
Oh but you have got to jump on board
Oh, you have got to jump on

Your safe inside
You bide your time a little more
You waste the life that could be yours

Hey you
Timid on the platform
Just waitin
For someone else to go change the world
Oh, but you have got to jump on board
You have got to jump on

Your safe inside
You bide your time a little more
You waste the life that could be yours

Well it’s coming,
It’s coming and it won’t be back
Can you hear it
Hear the rumble of the rusty track
And the train
Will roll on by
You can run or you can hold on tight

Your safe inside
You bide your time a little more
You waste the life that could be yours
