Rather Miss the Train (v2)

[Verse 1]

I left my badge beside the coffee machine

Told the supervisor what the silence means

The clock kept chewing up another year

So I grabbed my cheap guitar and disappeared

[Pre-Chorus]

No more blue-screen mornings

No more borrowed time

I hear a six-string warning

And this life is mine

[Chorus]

I’m punching out, I’m turning up

I’m done pretending this is enough

Hey! Hey! We’re taking back the night

I’d rather miss the train than miss my life

I’m burning through the doubts I’ve saved

No more small talk, no more being well-behaved

Hey! Hey! If you’re stuck, get free

Put your hands up, sing this back to me

[Verse 2]

My final check is barely gonna last

But every hungry mile beats living in the past

We’ve got a van that coughs on every hill

And four loud hearts that haven’t missed their chance still

[Pre-Chorus]

No more blue-screen mornings

No more borrowed time

The door is wide and roaring

And this life is mine

[Chorus]

I’m punching out, I’m turning up

I’m done pretending this is enough

Hey! Hey! We’re taking back the night

I’d rather miss the train than miss my life

I’m burning through the doubts I’ve saved

No more small talk, no more being well-behaved

Hey! Hey! If you’re stuck, get free

Put your hands up, sing this back to me

[Bridge]

If they ask where I’m going

Tell them anywhere but there

If they ask what I’m chasing

Tell them something I can share

One more mile, one more song

One more reason to hold on

[Breakdown]

Get out! Get loud!

Don’t let them count you out!

Get out! Get loud!

We’re not slowing down!

[Final Chorus]

I’m punching out, I’m turning up

I’m done pretending this is enough

Hey! Hey! We’re taking back the night

I’d rather miss the train than miss my life

I’m burning through the doubts I’ve saved

No more small talk, no more being well-behaved

Hey! Hey! If you’re stuck, get free

Put your hands up, sing this back to me

[Outro]

Clock out!

Lights up!

This is what we came for!
