Railroad Tracks

I've helped you pack with my packing list
It's colder now, the time for overcoats
And other types of clothes you might have missed
But I'll always make sure that you stay warm
Our wardrobe has turned dull and empty
The days I'll count will be long and plentiful
It will be a while before you get home

And I don't feel right when you're leaving
And I hope you'll change your mind
You can shield me from my demons
But I need you by my side
I wish you'd be here tonight

I'll drive you to your railroad tracks
Although some part of me has hoped we're out of gas
I don't want to let this moment pass
I notice that you smell like roses
As the door between us closes
Soon I'll be standing on these railroad tracks alone

And I don't feel right when you're leaving
When you're only on my mind
You can shield me from my demons
But I need you by my side
I wish you'd be here tonight

Remember the first time that you asked me out?
You weren't my type but you seemed okay
But now it's you I can't live without
Sometimes it's funny how things change

And I don't feel right when you're leaving
When you're only on my mind
You can shield me from my demons
But I need you by my side
And I don't feel right when you're leaving
When you're only on my mind
You can shield me from my demons
But I need you by my side
I wish you'd be here tonight
