And another.

I'm not sure why I've been on such a song writing kick lately, but I wrote another one this morning and I've already begun two more. Last night I started on one, but it was giving me a lot of trouble so it's off in the word document of DOOM, where it'll fester for a while until I look through it, pull it out, and allow it to give me even more grief. I believe this one is called either "Chase the Nightmares Away" or "The Train that's never Coming." If you have any better ideas, tell me. If not, tell me your favorite one in the comments, I guess? =P

Chorus:
Sitting downtown
waiting on a train that's never coming
you rode it once
but in a drug-induced haze
cigarette butts
litter the pavement, clog your mind, can't be mine, that's okay.
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away

Verse one:
I'm reading
between all your maybes
there's traces of how it used to be still left in my eyes
I think of you
and I smile half-heartedly
join the queue, you can hold her hand
while you wait on me
this is where we're at, where we're supposed to be
But you're still lagging behind
the times.

chorus:
Sitting downtown
waiting on a train that's never coming
you rode it once
but in a drug-induced haze
cigarette butts
litter the pavement, clog your mind, can't be mine, that's okay.
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away

Verse two:
She loves you
just as much as she ever did
now that you're through
let the panic sink in
lock the doors,
make sure to burn all your bridges
but keep the key on a chain 'round your neck
you'll never know when you'll need it next
under vanilla skies,
you see the clouds forming
but you don't mind,
you never mind much these days.
Except for sometimes
when the sun's setting
and I feel the need to rub it in your face

Chrous:
Sitting downtown
waiting on a train that's never coming
you rode it once
but in a drug-induced haze
cigarette butts
litter the pavement, clog your mind, can't be mine, that's okay.
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away

Verse three:
armed with band-aids
and lipstick and cue-cards,
I'm halfway there
someone wrote my name backstage
that undeserved reputation is looking back
through cucumber eyes
you know it's hypothetical
and summer was regrettable
but love is never wise

Chorus:
Sitting downtown
waiting on a train that's never coming
you rode it once
but in a drug-induced haze
cigarette butts
litter the pavement, clog your mind, can't be mine, that's okay.
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away
I'm still there to chase the nightmares away
I'll always chase your nightmares away.
