rooftop secrets
There’s something about the simple, haunting feel of Early Train that grabbed my attention right away. Justin’s vocals walk a disconsolate line between longing and disappointment that just completely kills me every time.
All music and lyrics written, performed & recorded by Justin Miner.
"Early Train" off self-released album Nothing to Do With Anything (c) 2003. Justin Miner is currently playing with band Fight From Above in Los Angeles.
been hanging 'round the old station
with a pocket heavy with new directions
to places and people I've been and might become
but the further that I go the less I know exactly where I'm from
there ain't no one here this time of night
I like staring through the rafters at the twilight
that's creeping discretely into the corners of my eye
and I wish that I could keep a little there for when I need some sunlight
I am waiting
take me away
I might be leaving on that early train
and if I called you not knowing what to say
would we be leaving on that early train?
hey hey hey...
been making plans to run away
you and I could drive until we're out of highway
but sitting in the backseat would be
everything we thought that we'd finally leave behind
leave behind...
been watching myself go to waste
the mirror reflects a stranger seeking cheap escape
drinking liquor in a room filled with people he hates...
