Lyrics Notice - Jim Lea

Notice

Things you might notice on a passing train
Things you might notice as you feel insane
Things you might notice as your train goes by
Things you might wonder, never knowing why
I was lost in the back and beyond
When my girlfriend, wife to be
Said the thing is James, you might think it’s strange
But you’re not the one for me
Well you can kick and scream, and gouge and crawl
When your self-esteem is flattened
Your whole life can change in a second
And you don’t even know it’s happened
Things you might notice on a passing train
Things you might notice as you feel insane
Things you might notice as your train goes by
Things you might wonder, never knowing why
You know the indisputable truth
Is that we’re born into life of own
And then it seems to be the case
That we’ll all strive to make a home
So
You can keep yourself safe and warm
But your world may make no sense
When you offer your tender underbelly
To the sword of experience
Things you might notice on a passing train
Things you might notice as you feel insane
Things you might notice as your train goes by
Things you might wonder, never knowing why
Yeah, when man’s control of the world is shattered
You might think at times like these
That the arrogance of mankind
Would have sunk with the ship of dreams
Ship of dreams, and
When the illusion of safety is shattered
Well, there’s only one thing to do
That is have the belief that something, someone, somewhere
Is out there waiting for you
We seem to want everything
Think we get nothing and that’s when things get tough, but
Between everything and nothing
What is the something that might just be enough?
Be enough
Things you might notice on a passing train
Things you might notice as you feel insane
Things you might notice as your train goes by
Things you might wonder, never knowing why
When reality bites with its fangs of ice
And the worst is that it’s closest
One thing for sure at times like this
At least you’ll notice
