[Chorus]
Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you

[Verse 1]
I went walking in your shoes today
It took me back to that familiar way
That I felt when our team was on the winning side
So I paged through some pictures that you left behind

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I guess I would have known love if it whispered in my ear
All I know right now is that its been almost a year
That I traded in forever for a kiss that day
But how about some shelter if I promise not to stay

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Shelter Me
Come on baby please
I don't need for you to feel the same
Cover me, come on can't you see
That I just need to come in from the rain
Shelter Me
I know that you need to find someone who will get you
Thought I was the one
I know that I need to find someone who let me
Thought you were the one

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Shelter Me
Come on baby please
I don't need for you to feel the same
Cover me, come on can't you see
I just need to come in from the rain
Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you

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.
