The Orbit of Strangers

[Intro] (Atmospheric city sounds: muffled rain, a distant train whistle) (Soft piano melody starts) [Verse 1] The clock is ticking on the station wall Coffee steam rises, shadows start to fall I’m just a face in a charcoal gray coat Lost in the rhythm of a midnight note You’re at the counter, counting out change A universe away, yet within my range. [Pre-Chorus] The platform hums, the world goes blurred A thousand stories, not a single word Then the sliding doors begin to sway And the stars align in a mundane way. [Chorus] It’s the crossroad of destinies, a glitch in the light Two lonely satellites meeting in the night One look, one second, a spark in the rain And we’ll never be the same strangers again No, we’ll never be the same. [Verse 2] You dropped your ticket, I reached for the floor Our fingers brushed by the closing door A sudden electric, a pull in the chest Like a secret shared, put to the test The train is screaming, "It's time to go" But your eyes are saying what we already know. [Bridge] (Music swells, drums kick in) What if I stayed? What if you turned? In that split second, the bridges were burned The map of my life was rewritten in ink Everything changed in a rhythmic blink! [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break] (Dreamy, soaring melody) [Chorus] It’s the crossroad of destinies, a glitch in the light Two lonely satellites meeting in the night One look, one second, a spark in the rain And we’ll never be the same strangers again. [Outro] The doors slide shut... But the air feels different now. Two strangers... One second... Everything. (Fade out with a single piano note)
