Paper Kites, The - On The Train Ride Home Lyrics

I’m lost. Still can’t find the way back home…

Try google maps

I don't wanna be here. It's so hard.

this song threw me back to the time i was really happy in a relationship, seven years ago. he left me, went back to his old lover and got married. we remained as friends and used to talk a lot, then he disappeared and never talked to me again. it's been two years. i told him that he was the love of my life, that he made me whole; i still feel empty without him to this day. if i can't get the one i want to love, give me the one i need to love.

so much amazing music i haven't discovered yet, makes me kinda anxious.

This song covered me as a warm blanket in the wintery ride home

“Ethereal” is the word that came to my mind when I saw the video.

Got my heart broken in NYC days ago first time in the city ..she walked out the hotel room and walked away.. spent the night alone in NYC grabbed a uber to the airport was a rainy cold morning 4am .. my last goodbye in the city was to the uber driver ..damn new york... felt unreal...definitely could of used this song that day.

I took a girl to see them live with me in Austin this last year. We had originally met at a cafe. She was dressed in a beautiful blue/white striped dress. We talked briefly and exchanged information. It was the best conversation Id had with someone in so long, I didnt want to leave. We kept in touch over the weeks and I finally worked up enough courage to ask her out. From what I understood from her she was in a healing phase. And so I wanted her to have that moment and me just there to support her. After the show we walked and talked for almost an hour. She told me she wanted me to hold her at one point in the show. And I wish I had.

I'm sad sitting in moms room in the dark and listening to this makes me feel so high and numb

I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY

beautiful

sometimes songs make u fall in love with life. this is one of them.

this song makes me wanna confess to someone and then, run away from them on a train.

Someday, when I'm in New York, I'll wake up at 6, get dressed and get some coffee. I'll go walking and let the roads lead me. I'll watch the sunrise, have breakfast on the window seat of some diner. I'll take the metro, walk around, people watch the entire day and listen to music.
I'll watch the city lights late at night at the terrace of some building, and return home content, alive and tired.

Best day of my life.

this is giving me a feeling i’ve never felt before

Excellent song, gonna check out more from this band! Another lucky random YT click, glad i decided to listen!

😁

me & jung kook, 2018

Sometimes I wish if I experience being loved in return the way I love,
I look back and I feel so sad for myself for planting bitterness in my soul for people who never deserved care..
I gave so many feelings and ended up feeling empty..
Sometimes I wonder,
could the one really be somewhere out there?
will our paths ever cross?
or have they ever?

Such beautiful comment section
Makes my heart warm 🧡

Your concert in Vancouver a few months back was amazing. I nearly cried.

Huzurun sesi resmen 💙👏

I have always cherished train rides home” the very first time I got to travel alone was when I was 18. It was exciting and scary at the same time.

I was listening to this song while waiting for a text from someone
And I said if the song ends before I get a reply I must get over it ... the reply never came ...

1:56 that's so real

Damn this relates to all kind of aspects of life

This song is blessing

Ok I just fell apart.completely,my life's crazy n im telling at everything.i earned my trench Spike says,and she wears it.i choose her for it.and I watched them grow up.but one girl talked to me,was a quiet reserved queen.just like her mom Texas was the best word ever.i lost my heart when I seen the first teen baby, realize that was my own story.and saw her come home confused it would happen.grateful to grow old yet told can't come in.except rely on me so my doors were open.and communes happen.

🙂💅😌✍😔👣😞🤝😢😭

The trump is beautiful, the rest ofcourse is hormonal girl dogshit, wish they just posted the trumpet or at least gave his name or a link or something

Time slows down when listening to this song

This song really speaks to my life right now. There's someone I care very deeply for, but there are so many obstacles between us and I don't know if we have a future together... it's so hard but I'm trying to come to terms with it.

this sounds so similar to blindsided by bon iver, still love it tho

⚡️”want someone to grow with” absolutely. I know a great teacher.

Still whow wow wow

This is some of the best cinematography and editing I have seen. Drew Wilson and Sam Bentley, wow dudes.

Such a beautiful song 🍂 thank you ☺️

You won't leave me behind right.im the same guy the same depressing friend.im the guy who loves you.i can't let you go.yiu are my siblings and,it's not right to blame me so much when I lived it with you

Love from my heart❤

Why no one is talking about the awesome video

Everyday I pull myself up, convincing myself to live and love. I cried for I don't know how.

This ☹

Thank u

cadê os BRS?????

This song reminds me of the time when i traveled solo to Osaka Japan, hopping on trains and wandering the freezing cold but cozy, beautiful city. The only thing that was missing was a partner by my side.

This makes me want to go somewhere where no one knows me, meeting new people, sharing our heart broken story while smoking our cigarettes and drinking our coffee

I heard the lyrics in the first chorus as "If I CAN get the things I want.." which made the second time hearing them as "If I CAN'T get the things I want..." much more impactful. The first pass sounded like an honest, albiet somewhat selfish prayer to get the things your heart desires, even demanding it in the last line, "Just give me what I need". The second pass with the change to "can't" makes that last line come from a place of humility and submission. Beautiful song either way.

i miss new york so much

All i have to say FUCK the MTA

this reminds me of the time when i was alone in a city surrounded by different people who ive recently known. I was in love with a girl but our love was barricaded by different barriers. i was all alone, everyday is just a replay of every other day, the routines were the same, the vibes were the same, the sadness still remained. i was lost, i was left behind, i was alone, i was directionless

*I wish you good day*
Maybe better than all my life

This song makes me wanna go back from the past. Where all is home. I miss those days...

this vibe remember me Cigarrets after sex

The most sincere prayer.

it's worth staying up all night , listening to this song and scrolling down the comment section.

🇬🇪✌️

That saxophone... brought me back to nostalgia that I gained from American movies I have watched since young.

I love this band.

just a great band with great songs. beautiful. music has become crap today. finally a band that is worth something

Sorte de ter conhecido as músicas deles! Amo demais

I'm listening to this in a fast train, quiet.....sun down......serenity.....
Just the calmness inside me in this fast moving train.

Preciosa melodia

damn, i'd love to have a cd of this album. why isn't it availableee :/

If someone lands on the land of apartunities ,the USA and fells home sickness all he/she has to do it take a ride on a newyork Subway train .it's a living room of all the available species of humans ,German ,Chinese , Indian, Russian, French , Australian ,Italian ,Maxican , Thailand, Korean ,Arabs ,Persian ,Jamacan, Brazilian etc .you will never fell you are alone .when I first time took the ride since that day I never felt I am alone and it's almost more than 25 years .I m a human too so if IF once in a while I fell lonlyness I take a ride on 7 then E ,

I hate thinking anymore but I am me and I cant help it.

If you're listening to this, you have a good taste in music.

This song makes me want to go home

How nicely imagined this! ❤

What do you call this kind of genre?

The trumpet scene is wholesome

...in a strange way, this song makes me smile

This song makes me sad because i miss the old me that was lost a few years ago. She was such a good person. Found good in everything.

Who else is watching at night feeling miserable in 2019?

Life's good, it will work out someday

I’ll be moving to NYC soon and It’s always been my dream to live there. I haven’t been there yet, but this song made me tear up. 😭😢

Eu amo tanto as músicas dessa banda 💜 come to Brazil please

I can't wait to see you guys live in October! ❤

my music for depression <3

When you are down and out about life, this is one song that touches...✨

Сайнуу. Санаж байна шүү

Holy shit i found good music

thankyou for making this.

💛💛

I’m listening to this on a train for the first time

my depression brought me here.

<3 <3 <3

I'm currently working here in Singapore. The Train system here is great. Listening to The Paper Kites (particularly this song) gives me nostalgia. I miss my country even if it's messy. I miss the people. My family and friends. I miss home.

They missed you too.

This song really calms your nerves after the daily hustle!

Your voice is heaven on earth ,
Thank you.

[Verse]
Waiting down at the station
I don’t remember
I think it was late then
Standing, always so quiet
We’re like elevators
Filled up with strangers

[Chorus]
No sound, no Hallelujahs
Still I was praying on the train ride home
If I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need

[Verse]
Our words fill up the pages
Fill up the days with
Songs for the ages
Still those vows that we all speak
We break them like concrete
And just make our words cheap

[Chorus]
I want someone to grow with
Songs I can sing to
And a family to cling to
But if I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need
Just give me what I need

Verse
Waiting down at the station
I don’t remember
I think it was late then

[Chorus]

Still I was praying on the train ride home
If I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need

[Verse]
Our words fill up the pages
Fill up the days with
Songs for the ages
Still those vows that we all speak
We break them like concrete
And just make our words cheap

[Chorus]
I want someone to grow with
Songs I can sing to
And a family to cling to
But if I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need
Just give me what I need

❤️😭

Like a heavy heart drifting in the lime light murmurs of the noisy city

I love how they don’t show their faces. (I can imagine myself as the girl with the long curly/wavy hair)

Paper kites "😍😍😍"

Everytime i hear this song, it reminds me of the things and people i’ve lost. How it started out right and ended up wrong. Way to go, heart! Keep on aching :”)

Just luv this group, beautiful music

See.... there’s this girl on the train
