Well she's running from the life she knows
Running like a train jumps off the tracks, off the tracks
And it doesn't matter where she goes
As long as she ain't slipping through the cracks, no more
And she'll press that bottle to her lips
But it's not strong enough to numb the pain, oh no
And she'll take a breath between each sip
The lightening hits and tears they fall like rain, oh oh
She says "I'm gone
Gone like goodbye, gone like last night
Gone
Gone like this train, gone like the years
I've wasted"
Now she's staring out the window
Watching dreams of what could be pass her by, pass her by
It seems she's close enough to touch it
But why can't she grab ahold of it, why oh why, why why
The wheels are turning way too fast
She blows right past the stop she's meant to make
And the boilers boiling over now
And she can't get her hands upon the break, on the break
She says "I'm gone
Gone like goodbye, gone like last night
Gone
Gone like this train, gone like the years
I've wasted"
Mmm, mmm
She says "I can see the light at the end of the tunnel"
She says "I have finally reached the bottom of the bottle"
And "I'm gone"
