Song lyrics
one last thing i beg you please just before you go 
i've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world 
until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down 
landed somewhere far from here with no one else around 
to catch you falling down 
and i'm looking at you now 

and i cant tell if you're laughing 
between each smile theres a tear in your eye 
theres a train leaving town in an hour 
its not waiting for you and neither am i 

swing for the fences son 
he must have told you once 
that was a conversation you took nothing from 
so raise your glass now and celebrate excatly what you've done 
just put off another day of knowing where your from 
catch up with yourself if you run 

and i cant tell if you're laughing 
between each smile theres a tear in your eye 
theres a train leaving town in an hour 
its not waiting for you and neither am i 

is this the life that you lead? 
or the life thats left for you? 
will you take the road thats been laid out before you 
will we cross pathes somewhere else tonight? somewhere else tonight 

and i cant tell if you're laughing 
between each smile theres a tear in your eye 
theres a train leaving town in an hour 
its not waiting for you and neither am i

This song is amazing. The lyrics are so deep, the rhythm is catchy and the all-together sound is mind-blowingly orgasmic.
LOVE Rise Against.
