Third Engine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sky grows bigger every day And the other week I hopped on a train Cutting through state lines To come to you as the crow flies Out there in the open Everything was melon and orange [Chorus] Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of Watching you in your sleep? [Verse 2] And I just want you to know That every pool of water reminds me of you Is that all right? I hope you think it's cool Sometimes a train can't go as fast as I want it to [Chorus] Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of Watching you in your sleep? I rolled over and over Trying to touch your knees Underneath the sheets Trying to touch your knees [Verse 3] Everything seemed a little easier When we weren't one hundred miles apart The person across from me Sitting in her train seat reminded me of you And I looked out past her cheeks Through the glass-light conduit The sun had sunk, disappeared into New Jersey "Oh, why don't they have phones on these things?" What can I do? I'm stuck thinking about you [Chorus] Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of Watching you in your sleep? I rolled over and over Trying to touch your knees Underneath the sheets Trying to touch your knees
