[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Steady Kick Pulse, Clean Guitar Arpeggio, Warm Organ Pad, Low Bass Drone]
[Spoken word]
Haven’t you heard
(All aboard!)
Just like that
(We can put it back)
[Instrumental – Guitar Harmonics Rising]
[Verse 1]
Steel and spark
(In the dark)
Lost the line
(Missed the mark)
Signal’s red
(Ahead, ahead)
But we ain’t dead
(Not yet, not yet)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that click-clack comin’ back
(Slow and steady on the track)
[Refrain]
This train
(Was driftin’, driftin’, driftin’)
Off the side
(shiftin’, shiftin’, shiftin’)
But just like that
We decide… (to realign)
[Bridge]
[Instrumental – Pulsing Bass, Snare Build, Organ Swell]
Switch the rail
(Tell the tale)
Every fail
(Leaves a trail)
[Short Guitar Solo – melodic, resolving]
[Verse 2]
Too much speed
(Too much need)
Too much greed
(Plant the seed)
Ease the brake
(For our sake)
Give and take
(What we make)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that rhythm in the wheels
(That’s the sound of somethin’ real)
[Refrain]
Hey! Hey! Train, feel the gain
(Climbin’, climbin’, climbin’)
Back in line
(Timin’, timin’, timin’)
Knowin’ we can
Redesign… (the line)
[Instrumental Break]
[Driving Bass, Organ Stabs, Guitar Solo — brighter, upward phrasing]
[Percussion Breakdown — rail clacks sampled rhythmically]
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Off track once
(Don’t mean forever)
Steel can bend
(But it holds together)
Human nature
(Can control the roll)
Mind the switch
(Reclaim the soul)
[Build: Snare March, Rising Synth Filter, Open Hi-Hats]
[Final Refrain]
Hey! Hey! Train, now explain
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Back on the rails
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Knowin’ we learn
From the fails… (prevails)
[Outro]
[Instrumental – Piano and Organ Sustain, Guitar Echo Lines]
Click-clack sound
(Safe and sound)
Turned it ‘round
(Track we found)
As we roll (heel to heel)
Know how it feels (it feels)
… for real.
