"Train Song" is a song originally by Vashti Bunyan that Melanie Martinez and Jared Dylan covered on Jared's YouTube channel. They covered the rendition done by Feist and Ben Gibbard. The video was later taken down.
Background[]
Jared and Melanie covered this song together while they were dating in 2013.
Theme[]
This song is about two lovers who have been apart for some time. The woman is on a train, nervous and excited to see her boyfriend. She questions if he'll be with someone else and have forgotten about her, or if he'll be alone. She doesn't know if he'll be prepared to be in love with her again. She does know, however, that she belongs with him.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Traveling north, traveling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll say when I find you
Call out your name love, don't be surprised
[Chorus]
It's so many miles and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
[Verse 2]
Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Only the beat of the train the I'm on
Nothing I've learned all my life on the way to you
Only our love that's over and gone
[Chorus]
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
[Bridge]
What will I do if there's someone there with you?
Maybe someone you've always known
How do I know I can come and give to you?
Love with no warning and find you alone
[Outro]
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
It won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long
[Verse 1]
Traveling north, traveling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll say when I find you
Call out your name love, don't be surprised
[Chorus]
It's so many miles and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
[Verse 2]
Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Only the beat of the train the I'm on
Nothing I've learned all my life on the way to you
Only our love that's over and gone
[Chorus]
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
[Bridge]
What will I do if there's someone there with you?
Maybe someone you've always known
How do I know I can come and give to you?
Love with no warning and find you alone
[Outro]
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
It won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long
