This Ain’t GoodbyeTrain

Released: October 27, 2009

Songwriter: Ryan Tedder Pat Monahan

Producer: Ryan Tedder Martin Terefe

[Verse 1]
You and I were friends from outer space
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
We were way before our time
As bold as we were blind
Just another perfect mistake
Another bridge to take
On the way of letting go

[Chorus]
This ain't goodbye
This is just where love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
Then this ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye

[Verse 2]
We were stars up in the sunlit sky
No one else could see
Neither of us thought to ever ask why
It wasn't meant to be
Maybe we were way too high
To ever understand
Maybe we were victims of all
All the foolish plans we began to devise

[Chorus]
But this ain't goodbye
This is just the way love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't good bye, oh oh, oh no this ain't goodbye
Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah
This ain't goodbye

You and I were friends from outer space
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know

[Verse 3]
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye, oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye
It's just the way love goes
But where's that woman now, to keep away the cold?
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This is not where the story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
Oh no, this ain't
Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah
This ain't goodbye

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.
