Express Train
Four Kornerz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something so simple has taken me
Oh so exciting I feel so free
When you look in my eyes and you'll know it real
I'm making my way back to you

Lord it feels so dramatic I need you more
Coz when my cold heart is empty you keep me warm
And this air that I'm breathing it just won't do
I'm making my way back to you

You are the best thing that's happened to me
And I never want to let you go
You are the best thing that's happened to me
And I'm coming back into your arms

I'll be making my way back to you
On an express train
No more holding back
No more holding back
I'm giving my all to you

Making my way back to you
On an express train
No more holding back, holding back,
Lord, I'm giving my all to you

Oh this is obsession I can't deny
Coz it's your face that I see when I close my eyes
And I'll sing you a letter my soul to keep
I'm making my way back to you

Coz without you I'm empty I just can't be
And you are my reason my everything
How could I have turned my back on you?
I'm making my way back to you

You are the best thing that's happened to me
And I never want to let you go
You are the best thing that's happened to me
And I'm coming back into your arms

Swing Low, Chariot
Take me home, chariot

I'll be making my way back to you
On an express train
No more holding back
No more holding back
I'm giving my all to you

Making my way back to you
On an express train




No more holding back, holding back,
Lord, I'm giving my all to you
