I hope this old train breaks down, so I could take a walk around and
See what there's no time you see, time is just a melody
People in the streets walking fast as their feet
Can take 'em, I just roll through town
And though this window's got a view, but the frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now I
I need this here, old train to breakdown
Oh please just, let me please just breakdown
I need this here, old train to breakdown
Well this engine screams out loud, centipede going to crawl westbound
I don't even make a sound 'cause it's going to sting me to leave this town
And the people in the street that I'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow
And I got no time that I got to get to where I don't need to be
So I need this here, old train to breakdown
Oh please just let me please just breakdown
I need this here, old train to breakdown
Let me please breakdown
You know you can't stop nothing if you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know
That you don't know nothing but you don't need to know
'Cause all the wisdom's in the trees not the glass windows
You can't stop wishing if you don't let go (I need this here old train to breakdown)
Of the things that you find and you lose and you know
But you keep on rolling, put the moment on hold (Oh please just let me please just breakdown)
Because the frame's too bright, so put the blinds down low
You know you can't stop nothing if you got no control (I need this here old train to breakdown)
Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know
That you don't know nothing but you don't need to know (Oh please just let me please just breakdown)
'Cause all the wisdom's in the trees not the glass windows
I need this here old train to breakdown (You can't stop wishing if you don't let go)
(Of the things that you find and you lose and you know)
Oh please just let me please just breakdown (But you keep on rolling, put the moment on hold)
(Because the frame's too bright, so put the blinds down low)
See what there's no time you see, time is just a melody
People in the streets walking fast as their feet
Can take 'em, I just roll through town
And though this window's got a view, but the frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now I
I need this here, old train to breakdown
Oh please just, let me please just breakdown
I need this here, old train to breakdown
Well this engine screams out loud, centipede going to crawl westbound
I don't even make a sound 'cause it's going to sting me to leave this town
And the people in the street that I'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow
And I got no time that I got to get to where I don't need to be
So I need this here, old train to breakdown
Oh please just let me please just breakdown
I need this here, old train to breakdown
Let me please breakdown
You know you can't stop nothing if you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know
That you don't know nothing but you don't need to know
'Cause all the wisdom's in the trees not the glass windows

It's about an emotional breakdown (not necessarily relationship-orientated). Literally, he is the train and feels the need to breakdown - ie he's at breaking point.
"with all the people in the street
walk as fast as their feet can take them
i just roam through town"
= I feel invisible
"and though my windows got a view
well the frame i'm looking through
seems to have no concern for me now"
= My views on the world are no longer what they were
"so i don't even make a sound
cause it's gunna sting me
when i leave this town
and all the people in the street
that i'll never get to meet"
= I'm gonna keep quiet about my situation so I don't hurt other people.
"but you can't stop nothing
if you got no control
of the thoughts in your mind
that you kept in, you know"
= I've lost control and I can't stop it. Things seem inevitable.
"you can't stop wishing
if you don't let go
but things that you find
and you lose, and you know
you keep on rolling"
= I have to get away from everything that currently surrounds me to even try and sort myself out.
