Midland Line

[Verse 1]
I remember the times, they were paper-thin
I could feel your heartbeat through your skin
Before we let the darkness in
Words held their meaning
You were the black sheep, but we were a team
We never fit in, no, to anyone's scene
Looking back, was it all just a dream?
Words held their meaning

[Pre-Chorus]
We never wasted time
Held our breath till there wasn't a sound
We can't turn back time
To the days when you were around

[Chorus]
Back in the day when I first met you
In the back seat of the Benz
There was a day when I first kissed you
Was the beginning of the end
So many wasted sunsets
So many wasted nights
So many wasted moments
By the tracks of the Midland line

[Verse 2]
I remember the night that you let me in
You were a broken heart, I was lost within
You were falling apart, we were high on everything
A life without meaning
Hanging by a thread, we were seventeen
Could it be the end? You said you'd never leave
Running through my head are all the things you said to me
When you were my meaning

[Pre-Chorus]
We never wasted time
Held our breath till there wasn't a sound
We can't turn back time
To the days when you were around

[Chorus]
Back in the day when I first met you
In the back seat of the Benz
There was a day when I first kissed you
Was the beginning of the end
So many wasted sunsets
So many wasted nights
So many wasted moments
By the tracks of the Midland line

Now you're gone and it's been three years since yesterday
Now you're gone and I'm a mess

[Bridge]
I remember the times, they were paper-thin
I could feel your heartbeat through your skin
Before we let the darkness in
Your words held their meaning

[Chorus]
Back in the day when I first met you
In the back seat of the Benz
There was a day when I first kissed you
Was the beginning of the end
So many wasted sunsets
So many wasted nights
So many wasted moments
By the tracks of the Midland line
