[Verse 1]
When I look into your eyes, your drop like an anchor eyes
I scudded and clipped the sky, just shy of making it
And you almost got away, I told you I was afraid
Did I really want to try, you're holding me to my claim
[Chorus]
I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
[Verse 2]
And you caught me on the sly
You've taken me by surprise
You've mirrored my best disguise and
Turned it back on me
[Chorus]
I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
[Chorus]
I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
[Verse 3]
I'll bring you a big bouquet
I picked it myself today
It compliments your eyes
There's love at the end of the line
[Chorus]
I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
[Chorus]
I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
[Bridge]
And that's what I always knew
I'd like to have hung the moon
I'd wrestle you for a spoon inside your sleeping bag
Just us
[Outro]
No war, no hate, no past
It's real
I'm here, I'm yours, I'm fast
I'm long in the eye
I'm cry when I try
I just want to fly
Just you and I, together
