Lyrics

Caught the first train for the coast

Embarking on a journey by catching the first train to the coast.

Till I lost sunshine

Lost the warmth and brightness of sunshine.

Southernmost

Reached the southernmost point.

And every way I'm livin'

Reflecting on the way of life.

On the outside

Living on the outside, observing the world.

What I see is not in vain

What is seen is not without purpose.

The soul inside you

The inner essence or spirit within someone guides the way.

Lights my way

The soul inside another person illuminates the path.

And northern bound

Heading northbound.

I'm headed

On the way inside, a metaphorical journey towards self-discovery.

For the inside

Inviting someone to join on the inner journey.

Yeah, so come on pretty baby, what's your name

Asking for the person's name.

And won't you love me for a while

Requesting love for a temporary period.

Cause you make me feel

Expressing the joy and innocence reminiscent of childhood.

Just like a child

Feeling childlike due to the person's influence.

Ahh yeah, if something in your heart is saying no

If there's doubt or reluctance in the heart, address it.

Don't hesitate, please

Urging honesty and openness if there are reservations.

Tell me so

Encouraging communication about any uncertainties.

Cause I've seen that road

Having experienced a challenging path multiple times.

Many times before

Reflecting on a familiar and difficult journey.

Make me

Invoking emotions or reactions.

Feel like

Feeling childlike again.

A child

Reiterating the effect of the journey on the emotional state.

Make me

Continuing the expression of childlike feelings.

Feel like

Reiterating the impact on emotions.

A child

Reinforcing the sense of childlike joy and innocence.

I've seen you walk that road before

Observing someone who has walked a challenging path before.

If not just yesterday

Possibly indicating recent or frequent occurrences.

The day before

Referencing a specific timeframe of the observed journey.

And eastern bound

Heading eastward while witnessing the sunrise.

We're watching

Observing the sunrise on the journey.

The sunrise

Inviting someone to join the inner journey again.

Yeah, so come on pretty baby, what's your name

Asking for the person's name once more.

And won't you love me for a while

Requesting love for a temporary period again.

Cause you make me feel

Reiterating the influence of the person in making one feel like a child.

Just like a child

Expressing the childlike emotions experienced.

Ahh if something in your heart is saying no

Encouraging addressing any doubts or hesitations in the heart.

Don't hesitate, please

Reiterating the importance of open communication.

Tell me so

Encouraging honesty about any reservations or uncertainties.

Cause I've seen that road

Reflecting on the familiarity of a challenging path.

Many times before

Reiterating the experience of the challenging road.
