Lyrics
[intro instrumental]
[verse 1]
Sitting in the middle of a crowded room, everyone talking at once, and I don’t know where to turn.
Too many voices coming at me, and I don’t understand a word.
I hear but I don’t understand. It’s all just noise to me.
It’s all just noise to me.
[chorus]
In my mind it’s an oncoming train,
Coming straight at me.
It gets louder and louder and I don’t understand,
The panic growing inside.
I want to run and I want to hide, but I’m frozen in my place.
So I stay and wait,
For that oncoming train.
[verse 2]
So many questions again and again,
But words that just don’t come.
The questions keep coming and I try to think,
But my mind, it just goes blank.
My mind, it just goes blank.
[chorus]
In my mind it’s an oncoming train,
Coming straight at me.
It gets louder and louder and I don’t understand,
The panic growing inside.
I want to run and I want to hide, but I’m frozen in my place.
So I stay and wait,
For that oncoming train.
[bridge]
I try to explain it but you can’t understand,
Because your mind doesn’t work the same way.
You think I’m lazy or making things up,
Because I’m different from day to day.
What can I say, and what can I do,
To explain to you what it’s like?
[chorus]
In my mind it’s an oncoming train,
Coming straight at me.
It gets louder and louder and I don’t understand,
The panic growing inside.
I want to run and I want to hide, but I’m frozen in my place.
So I stay and wait,
For that oncoming train.
[verse 3]
I’m still here, and I’m still me, even if I’m not the same.
The person I was is still inside, and knows how I was before.
All the changes and the things I can’t do,
Are really hard to ignore.
They’re really hard to ignore.
[chorus]
In my mind it’s an oncoming train,
Coming straight at me.
It gets louder and louder and I don’t understand,
The panic growing inside.
I want to run and I want to hide, but I’m frozen in my place.
So I stay and wait,
For that oncoming train.
[verse 4]
I don’t know what’s coming next, and the answers just aren’t there.
I really want to explain to you, how I’m feeling inside.
But the harder I try, the worse it gets, since the words they just don’t come.
So the best I can do, although it’s not great, is to put it out this way.
I’ll put it out this way.
[chorus]
In my mind it’s an oncoming train,
Coming straight at me.
It gets louder and louder and I don’t understand,
The panic growing inside.
I want to run and I want to hide, but I’m frozen in my place.
So I stay and wait,
For that oncoming train.
[outro]
So I’ll sit and wait, for that oncoming train.
So I’ll sit and wait, for that oncoming train.
