Lyrics
Darlin' -don't let me go
Expressing a plea not to be abandoned.
Until the last train rides
Desiring to be together until the end.
I wanna stay with you
Expressing a desire to remain in the relationship.
When the morning comes
Referring to the moment when daylight begins.
And it's time to rise
When it's time to face a new day.
But I can't lift my head - baby let me die
Expressing a feeling of despair, possibly contemplating death.
Release the sorrow - deep within my eyes
Asking to release inner pain visible in the eyes.
Life's only borrowed
Life is temporary, suggesting a philosophical perspective.
Chorus
Warning against building a life filled with regret and the importance of moving on.
Don't build your world with bitter regret
-'cause I still feel it's not over yet
-What we've done we'll have to forget
-Or all you'll reap is bitter regret
-Wonderin' -how this came to pass
Reflecting on how a situation unfolded.
Why my future runs through the hourglass
Contemplating the passage of time and its impact on the future.
Talk to me - 'cause I can't lift my head
Expressing a need for communication in a difficult situation.
Anti-social suicide lyin' on my bed
Suggesting withdrawal from social interaction and a sense of despair.
Release the sorrow - deep within my eyes
Requesting to release inner sorrow from the eyes.
Life's only borrowed
Reiterating the transient nature of life.
Chorus
Repeating the warning about avoiding bitter regret by moving forward.
'cause I still feel it's not over yet
-What we've done you'll have to forget
-Or all we'll reap is bitter regret
-[talkin' to my friend misfortune
Engaging in a conversation, possibly with misfortune, expressing a desire to change the past.
Take me for a ride
-How I wish that I could only
-Give you back your life again]
-Darlin' - I wanna stay with you
Reiterating the desire to stay together until morning.
'til the morning comes
Repeating the desire to stay together until the end.
And that last train rides
