[Verse 1:]
I'm on the train listening to Miles, making smiles
Through the rain, I can feel the window's pain
Even though I never seen what its seen
Probably never go where it's been
The last stop is the rainbow's end
I've got a one way ticket to meet up with a close friend
With my hopes up but can't hold onto both ends
I wonder if she knows still I've got a single
Red rose that I hope will refresh her memory
I watch drops of rain race down the window sill
The one I choose to win trails behind, but still
It's too close to call, the smile I drew broke its fall
Then got sidetracked, now all it does is ride the cracks
I won't let this set back affect me
I know what I want to say, I've got the whole world ahead of me
I'm lagging behind, I want to catch up on old times
The whole nine, I want the rainbow's end to be a goldmine
[Hook:]
There's two sides to every story, there's two side to every track
The one you hear on the way up; the one you tell on the way back
[Verse 1:]
I'm on the train listening to Coltrane
Without a train of thought and I've felt the windows pain
I've seen what its seen and I've been where its been
My heart of gold paid for my ticket out of the rainbow's end
It isn't what I expected, flipping through old notes and sketches
It isn't remotely close to how I remember it
Most of them are unfinished, but that's the nature of the business
The hidden details when you make wishes
It isn't like the movies you either save the world or the girl
From the black hat so, you can't have both
I'm halfway through Afro Blue
And I'm halfway home, knowing I can't have you
And my baggage feels like the weight of the world
I'm carrying the globe even though I tried to save the girl
Now I'm sitting in this chair, wishing you were here
Reading the other side to the story, like...
[Hook:]
There's two sides to every story, there's two side to every track
The one you hear on the way up; the one you tell on the way back
