Off the train

Off the Train (I Remember Me)”

Verse 1

I’ve been ridin’ that rail through a story I know,

Same worn track, same window show.

Thought if I stayed, the truth might bend,

But this fiction don’t change—it just loops again.

Pre-Chorus

Heard the voice in the smoke and steel,

Said, “Boy, that ache you feel is real.”

It ain’t a new man you’re tryin’ to find—

Just the one you buried back in time.

Chorus

So I’m gettin’ off the train,

Let the whistle fade behind.

Gonna walk where the road gets muddy,

Where the signs are hard to find.

There’s a truth I don’t need to carry,

And a truth that lives in me.

Not a new man I’m chasin’—

But the one I used to be.

Verse 2

I don’t know the road I’m takin’,

Ain’t no map in my back seat.

Just the rhythm of my heartbeat

And the ground beneath my feet.

I’m not lookin’ for perfection,

Just a place to breathe and stand—

To speak with quiet courage,

And hold my life in my own hands.

Bridge

Maybe I’ll take a boat, drift slow and wide,

Let the river decide where I go no need to arrive.

Or a bus with strangers, stories in hand,

Leavin’ the tracks behind in hopes of a better plan.

Final Chorus

Yeah, I’m off that train,

Let it thunder down its line.

I’ll take the long way ‘round,

Where the heart walks in time.

There’s a man I’m startin’ to remember—

And he don’t need to be set free.

He’s been waitin’ in the silence…

Just to be…

Just to be…

Yeah I’m finally free

Just to be

Just to be me.
