Another choo-choo train wash me away
When were apart
Cause you're apart of my heart
And I'm apart from my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dr. Dog's song "From" seem to be about a person who is desperately trying to hold on to their love, as they feel lost and confused without their significant other. The line "Don't you leave me, 'cause I don't want to learn how to die" expresses the singer's fear of loneliness and the idea that a life without love is not worth living. The chorus repeats the metaphor of a "choo-choo train rolling away" and a "choo-choo rain washing away," possibly representing the feeling of something slipping away or being washed away by time. The ending, where the singer talks to God, could suggest a desire for some kind of divine intervention to help them through their struggles.

Overall, the song seems to be about the heartache of losing someone you love and the desperation to hold onto them. It shows the raw emotions that come with loss and the willingness to turn to spirituality for comfort.
