Movin' On
Restless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mostly the gambling kind
I didn't want to be like the others
And get left behind
I heard about her bad reputation
And how she had a heart of stone
How she'd give a man
A moment of pleasure
I had a weakness for her kind of woman
I could never deny
I knew I would never see it coming
Until I was lost in her eyes
The more I tried to keep her at a distance
The more I became aware
She was breaking down my resistance
Till I no longer cared.
Tonight I saw the red red rose
In a yellow moon
Shining on a silhouette
Lying in the shadows of my bedroom
I knew it when we made love
And I couldn't quit calling her name
And I've been hit by another fast movin' train
I've been hit by another fast movin' train.
I wondered as I lay there and held her
Why can't this be real?
Why the fear wouldn't let me tell her
How could she make me feel
I doubt it if she would even be around
When the moment comes
I waited till she fell asleep
To whisper
Baby, look what you've done.
Tonight I saw the red red rose
In a yellow moon
Shining on a silhouette
Lying in the shadows of my bedroom
I knew it when we made love
And I couldn't quit calling her name
And I've been hit by another fast movin' train
Tonight I saw the red red rose
In a yellow moon
Shining on a silhouette
Lying in the shadows of my bedroom
I knew it when we made love
And I couldn't quit calling her name
And I've been hit by another fast movin' train
I've been hit by another fast movin' train.
The lyrics of 'Fast Movin' Train' tell the story of a man who falls for a woman with a reputation for breaking hearts, but he can't help being drawn to her. He knows that she has left a trail of broken-hearted lovers behind her, but he is unable to resist her charms. He hears about her bad reputation and how she has a heart of stone, but he is so attracted to her that he does not want to be left behind like her other lovers. Despite his efforts to keep his distance, he finds himself being drawn closer and closer to her until he can no longer resist her.
The chorus of the song uses the metaphor of being hit by a fast-moving train to describe his feelings of being unable to control his attraction to her. He sees a red rose in a yellow moon, a symbol of passion and desire, and he knows that he is lost. He feels helpless and unable to resist her, and he is hit again and again by another fast-moving train. At the end of the song, he reflects on his feelings and wonders why he can't make it real with her. He knows that his fear holds him back from telling her how he really feels, and he worries that she will not be around for him when he finally summons the courage to express his love to her.

And I couldn't quit calling her name
He was unable to stop thinking of her
And I've been hit by another fast movin' train
The singer has again fallen deeply and uncontrollably in love
I wondered as I lay there and held her
While holding her, he thought about his emotions
Why can't this be real?
Why can't this love be genuine?
Why the fear wouldn't let me tell her
He was scared to voice his true feelings for her
How could she make me feel
How was she able to elicit such strong emotions from him?
I doubt it if she would even be around
He did not think she would stay in his life
When the moment comes
When the time is right
I waited till she fell asleep
The singer waited until she was sleeping
To whisper
To quietly say
Baby, look what you've done.
You have caused me to fall in love with you
