[Verse 1]
So you're tired of waking up on empty?
You left for something that ain't real
So you think a couple of familiar faces
Is going to turn it all around?

[Bridge 1]
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
Where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen, or something better
Where they remember your name

[Verse 2]
And ain't it good to think about the weather
Doesn't seem to be time for that no more
It's hard to hear when you're busy saying what you want said
What you want said, it ain't clear

[Bridge 2]
You wanna be where they still open doors for you
It's not hard for them to remember you at all
They light your cigarette
And tell their friends you used to love them
Where they remember your name

[Chorus 1]
More forgiveness
More time away from feeling like you do today

[Chorus 2]
More forgiveness
More time away from feeling this way, alright

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
It's easy when you laugh, reminds you of you
It's easy when it's easy, it still ain't easy at all
So you're tired of waking up on empty
You left for something that ain't right
It ain't right, ain't right, no

[Bridge 1]
You want to be where they still pump your gas for you
Where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen, or something better
Where they remember your name

[Chorus 1]
More forgiveness
More time away from feeling like you do today

[Chorus 1]
More forgiveness
More time away from feeling like you do today, alright

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge 3]
And babe, you're getting better
And babe, you're getting better
And babe, you're getting better, yeah yeah

[Refrain]
More forgiveness, yeah
More forgiveness

[Chorus 2]
More forgiveness
More time away from feeling this way

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.
