Based loosely on the children’s story
The Little Engine That Could
A story about a long and broken down train carrying exceptional children’s toys. In it’s climax, the train must cross a large mountain and does so by exclaiming “I Think I Can” multiple times. And the train does.
In the track, Noah...
[Verse]
What's in the way?
And-and-and
What's nice about staying on the same pace?
Want to, want to get on and stay on
But I guess I'm just doing makes me feel good
So
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't want, and I don't want
To keep myself from moving on anyways
And I know how too many tough times
Can ruin the day from good ways
(If I wanna, when I need to
You know I could just
Come back to it anyhow)
And I don't want, and I won't have
To keep myself from moving on anyways
And I know how too many tough times
Can ruin the day from good ways
(If I wanna, when I need to
You know I could just
Come back to it anyhow)
[Bridge]
Can ruin the day from good ways
Will I get to move on soon?
(Try to stay in tune with what's happening)
[Chorus]
I think I can, I think I can, I think I
(Try to stay in tune with what's happening)
