Description
Life just rolls by so fast
Gotta find that route out east
Gotta catch that train.

She knew where she was going
She knew what she wanted to do
She took a chance and never looked back

But there was somebody who needed her more than she knew
And he didn't know where he was going
Nor did he know what he wanted to do
But he knew he wanted her, that he needed her
And so he took a chance and never looked back

He grabbed her train, knowing he'd never slow her down
But hoping that perhaps she could take him with her
And as she rolls quickly off towards the fading sunset
He just hangs on, and hopes for the best

She notices he's behind her
Hanging on for his life
For his hopes and dreams
For his last chance to be with her
And she realizes just how much he would give
Just how much he would sacrifice for her
Why didn't she see it before?

But it's too late;
The train is fast approaching the horizon
And she has to make a decision
Him or her future
Her friend or her dreams
His heart or her life
And she chooses.

And suddenly he realizes what he's done
He's given up everything for her
And she doesn't even care
He's heartbroken
But he's not surprised.
He knew when he took a hold of that train
That anything was possible,
Even this.

And so with a tear,
He finally lets go
Falling back into the darkness.
As she looks at him one last time
She feels something welling up in her
But it dies.

So it ends,
She never saw what happened to him,
Never saw him again
And that's because she didn't see him fall,
Break.
Crack.
Shatter.
Then roll,
Crushed under the weight of his despair,
And he never saw her beautiful face ever again.
They parted forever.

Life just rolls by so fast
Sometimes you gotta find your own route, west
And leave the ones you love
Because as painful as it may be,
If you don't, then simply,
They'll leave you.

Stand strong, turn to the shore
Face the wind and the waves
And know that you made the right choice.
