[Verse 1]
I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything has changed 'round me
I'd tell it to your face but you lost your face along the way
And I'd say it on the phone if I thought you were alone
Why do things have to change?

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you don't need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one

[Chorus]
Is anybody waiting at home for you?
Because it's time that will tell
If it's Heaven, if it's Hell or if it's
Anybody waiting at home for you
Because it's time that will tell this tale

[Verse 2]
You're in and out, up and down
Wonder if you're lost or found
But I got my hands on you
Are you strong enough to tow the line?
Are you gonna make me yours or do I make you mine?
I'm in and out, I'm up and down
Wonder if I'm lost or found but I need your hands on me now

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you don't need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one

[Chorus]
Is anybody waiting at home for you?
Because it's time that will tell
If it's Heaven, if it's Hell or if it's
Anybody waiting at home for you
Because it's time that will tell this tale

[Outro]
I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything got to change

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.
