High Speed Train
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
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
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
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
To Berlin, Kyoto, or Marseilles
I'd go anywhere for you
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
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
To Berlin, Kyoto, or Marseilles
I'd go anywhere for you
And that's what I always knew (that's what I always knew)
I'd like to have hung the moon (like to have hung the moon)
I'd wrestle you for a spoon inside your sleeping bag
Just us
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 cry when I try
I just wanna fly, just you and I, together
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
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
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
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
To Berlin, Kyoto, or Marseilles
I'd go anywhere for you
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
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building
I jump on a high speed train (jump on a high speed train)
I'll never look back again (never look back again)
To Berlin, Kyoto, or Marseilles
I'd go anywhere for you
And that's what I always knew (that's what I always knew)
I'd like to have hung the moon (like to have hung the moon)
I'd wrestle you for a spoon inside your sleeping bag
Just us
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 cry when I try
I just wanna fly, just you and I, together
