[Intro]
Just in case I don't make it home
Just in case I don't make it home

[Verse 1]
Are you seeing this?
Was it your breath, or kiss
Upon my neck like this
Just like you took my dying wish
Now I'm all covered in red from your lips
Tweaking from seeking the way to your hips
Schizo from your finger tips
Can't seem to stop this twitch

Are you tuning in?
The crowd is hollering
Jump, jump, jump, jump again
Camera crew is wearing thin
They wanna see me explode upon, emoticon
Oh, don't you see the road I'm on?
I'm real bad, can't quit
Baby, are you seeing this?

[Chorus]
Baby, turn on the news
They're talking about me like I'm going crazy
Baby, turn on the news
Press record when I say it
Just in case I don't make it home

[Verse 2]
Are you following Local 5 or CNN?
They asked me for my next of kin
Oh, I'm a wreck-ening
They think that they should lock me in
A rubber room, and then make sure I don't hurt myself
Or someone else, or even worse, a nurse

Are you getting me?
They think that I'm crazy
But, baby, this cold straight white jacket
Don't even phase me
Oh, I was playing them, tried to give me lithium
Didn't know that I could swim home again
Come on, baby, let me in

[Chorus]
Baby, turn on the news
They're talking about me like I'm going crazy
Baby, turn on the news
Press record when I say it
Just in case I don't make it home

[Post-Chorus]
Just in case I don't make it home
Just in case I don't make it home

[Brigde]
Flashing lights are blinding all my sights
Don't know if I'll make it through the night
When you see me on your screen
Then you'll know just what I mean when I'm saying
Home, home (home, home)

[Chorus]
Baby, turn on the news
They're talking about me like I'm going crazy
Baby, turn on the news
Press record when I say it
Just in case I don't make it home

[Post-Chorus]
Just in case I don't make it home
Just in case I don't make it home

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
