[Verse 1]
I woke up on angel island in your arms
To the smell of burning bridges
And the sound of those alarms in my head
We should have stayed in bed
But we held them up for ransom anyway
When the coldest days of winter were
The summers that we took aim at the bay
And grateful wasn't dead

[Chorus]
And like your lips were only made for me to kiss
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this

[Verse 2]
While the girls all danced beneath a burning man
And the last waltz did somersaults to finish off the band
Where they began in a wonder winterland
All we ever wanted was to be alone
Learning how to fly to sly, trying to find home
Underneath the family stone

[Chorus]
And just like New Years Day was made to reminisce
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this

[Bridge]
Love and stardust settle on us like a net
While buckley's "hallelujah" fills our ears from your cassette
While my heart stops beating, and you stop breathing, juliette

[0utro]
You're the only thing i'm ever gonna miss
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this

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.
