[Verse 1]
Am I made of paper?
Cause I tear so easily
Am I made of vapor?
Because I disappear
Do I have to have a reason
For anything I feel?
Just be glad I'm real, glad I'm real
Am I real?

Are you made of lead paint?
A bulletproof Picasso
All the virgin saints
Put you here to care for me
I don't need a reason
For anything I feel
Jut be glad I say what I mean
I mean what I say to you

[Chorus]
We don't need a reason
For anything we feel
We don't need a reason
Picasso's at the wheel
So roll this top down
Hell with this town
Leave our bags behind
We don't need a reason
Cause I've got you
And you've got me tonight
Cause I've got you
And you've got me tonight

[Verse 2]
Did you ever see the waves break
Into a million pieces?
Or stay awake
With someone who was dying?
You don't need to tell me
Anything at all
I'm just glad you're here, glad you're real
Are you real?

Am I made of timber?
Cause I'm on fire
Will you remember
Tonight for very long?
You don't need to sell me
On anything at all
Just say what you mean
And mean what you say to me

[Chorus]
We don't need a reason
For anything we feel
We don't need a reason
Picasso's at the wheel
So roll this top down
Hell with this town
Leave our bags behind
We don't need a reason
Cause I've got you
And you've got me tonight

[Bridge]
Amber waves of grain
Fly by highway lanes
Waited for this change
Seems like my entire life
If only the good die young
We'll outlast everyone
For some of the things we've done
And we've just begun

[Chorus]
We don't need a reason
For anything we feel
We don't need a reason
Picasso's at the wheel
So roll this top down
Hell with this town
Leave our bags behind
We don't need a reason
Cause I've got you
And you've got me tonight
And you've got me tonight
You've got me tonight
You've got me tonight

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.
