Lyrics
I just can't get 2 sleep
I am struggling to fall asleep.
Feels like a couple of weeks I been trying
It feels like I've been attempting to sleep for an extended period, perhaps due to inner turmoil.
The sound of this train is keep
The noise of a train is preventing others from hearing my crying.
Keeping everybody from hearing me crying
The train's sound serves as a cover for my emotional distress.
'Cause with every other beat of my heart
Each heartbeat emphasizes the connection that should not be broken.
I know that we should never b apart
Expressing the conviction that separation should never happen.
And if it hurts this bad by dawn
If the emotional pain persists until dawn, there's a determination to end the relationship represented by the train.
I'm gonna stop this train & never get back on
The decision to stop the train symbolizes ending the emotional journey and not returning.
Sleeping with ur face on my phone
Sharing an intimate connection through a mobile device, indicating a longing for closeness.
A face that I never shoulda left alone
Regret for leaving a significant person alone.
Pillowcase full of ur cologne
A pillowcase carrying the scent of a loved one intensifies the emotional attachment.
Yes I gotta crush & it'll never b outgrown
Expressing a lasting and deep affection that won't diminish.
Every other beat of my heart
Reiteration of the belief that separation is not the right path.
I know that we should never b apart
Strengthening the conviction against being apart.
& if it hurts this bad by dawn
If the pain persists, there's a commitment to end the emotional journey.
I'm gonna stop this train & never get back on
Reiterating the decision to stop the train and avoid returning.
Nothing makes sense 2 me & nobody's got a clue
Expressing confusion and a lack of understanding in the current situation.
'Cause nothin' & nobody makes me feel like u do
Highlighting that the person being sung about is unique in making the singer feel a certain way.
Thought I'd b as high as the sky
Initial expectations of a carefree and eternal existence.
Rock n roll 4ever & never die
Desire for a perpetual rock and roll lifestyle.
Used 2 never need a reason 2 fly
Reflecting on the past lack of reasons to strive for something.
Now I c that u're the only reason 2 try
Realization that the person addressed is now the primary motivation for effort.
It don't matter who's right or wrong
Emphasizing that the singer doesn't want to be the one expressing this painful experience.
I never want 2 b the one singing this song
Reiteration of the desire to end the emotional journey if the pain continues.
If it hurts this bad by dawn
If the emotional pain persists until dawn, there's a determination to end the relationship represented by the train.
I'm gonna stop this train and never get back on

Never get back on...

I just can't get 2 sleep
Repeating the initial struggle to sleep, emphasizing the ongoing emotional turmoil.
