The Finish LineTrain

Songwriter: Sacha Skarbek Pat Monahan

Producer: Martin Terefe

[Verse 1]
I thought I knew it all
I've been through the highs, said all my goodbyes
Learned to run before I learned to crawl
It's not worth fighting for, if one of us is sure
And one of us is dying, trying to find love's cure
I have waited all my life to paint these cities red
The thoughts I've always had here, stuck inside my head
It's not worth waiting for if one of us wants more
And one of us is dying, trying to find love's door

[Chorus 1]
When we learn how to fly
We forget to how to walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't want to hear each other talk

[Chorus 2]
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line

[Verse 2]
And you, you really thought you knew
Everything to do
With holding onto me and holding on
This time is making me slip right through your hands
And now you don't understand
Trying to find love all yourself

[Chorus 1]
When we learn how to fly
We forget to how to walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't want to hear each other talk
When we know what we want
We forget what we need
When you find who you are
You forget about me

[Chorus 2]
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line, ah

[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah

Train

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.
