The Final All​-​Aboard

from Commuter Fatigue by Charlie Crane

/

about

Recorded February 27-28 at Viking Studio. I've only missed the last train out of Union Station back to Westmont (the 12:40, or colloquially, the vomit comet) once or twice, though I have had some close calls.

lyrics

your party was such fun
it's too bad that no one
was able to give me a ride

so i race to the turnstile
it's only a half mile
but time isn't quite on my side

the pathway is winding
and my sweat is blinding
i'm getting blisters on my feet

but i cannot turn back
as i reach the train track
and finally collapse in my seat

just in time to hear

the final all-aboard to a train that i nearly missed
i shouldn't have stayed so late but it's far too hard to resist
your lips, and that final goodbye kiss

my timing was perfect
it was totally worth it
to get to see you for a while

my heartrate's subsiding
on metra i'm riding
and the memories all make me smile

the pizza and red wine
and forgotten punchlines
to jokes we've heard somewhere before

and those last stolen minutes
we kissed in the kitchen
before you led me to the door

the final all-aboard to a train that i nearly missed
i shouldn't have stayed so late but it's far too hard to resist
your lips, and that final goodbye...

kisses make me reckless, this is true
but i wouldn't miss the last train home for anyone but you
