	Story Behind the Song The Train in Lowell used to keep me up because i could hear it from my window in the middle of the night. I used to wonder who would be on the train at 3 in the morning and this song idea came to me. As far as the mid-section: My freshman year a highschool girl jumped off of the bridge because her boyfriend broke up with her, i think it was her third attempt. That struck me pretty hard. there you have it. Lyrics 3:10 pulls in like a ghost lonely and moaning, haunting my sleep singing the song of every jilted love torn and stumbling for some small piece of solid ground the lights flicker on and off single seats only tonight you flicker on and off to leave takes one crisp ticket stub and all of my might and last spring that poor girl fell too hard, too fast until she hit the river bottom crushed by gravity and love i know exactly where she came from i know her hand on the railing nothing but air beneath the lights flicker on and off single seats only tonight you flicker on and off to leave takes one crisp ticket stub and all of my might this city is dying for love it's had too many lonely nights to count now it's just running like all the rest -to hop a train -to get away -to empty out into a city that is the same -only wearing different clothes the lights flicker on and off single seats only tonight you flicker on and off to leave takes one crisp ticket stub and all of my might 3:10 pulls in like a ghost i'm torn and stumbling for some small piece
