One  last thing I beg  you please, just  before you go
 I've watched  you fly on paper  wings half way  round the world
 until they burned  up in the atmosphere  and sent  you spiraling down
Landing  somewhere  far from here with no  one else around
 To catch you falling  down
 And I'm looking at you  now
 And I  can't tell  if you're laughing
 Between  each smile  there's a tear  in your eye
 There's a train  leaving town  in an hour
 It's not waiting  for you  and neither  am I
Swing  for the fences  son, he must  have told you once
That  was a conversation  you took  nothing from
 SO RAISE YOUR GLASS  *now* AND celebrate  exactly  what you've done
Just  put off another  day of knowing  where you're from
 You can catch up with yourself
 if you run
 And I  can't tell  if you're laughing
 Between  each smile  there's a tear  in your eye
 There's a train  leaving town  in an hour
 It's not waiting  for you  and neither  am I
 And I  can't tell  if you're laughing
 Between  each smile  there's a tear  in your eye
 There's a train  leaving town  in an hour
 It's not waiting  for you  and neither  am I
