[Intro — Soft Synth Pad, Distant Pulse, No Vocals] [Instrumental — Slow atmospheric build, 8 bars] [Verse 1] We met on the last train to anywhere You sat across from me and didn't stare Just asked me where I'm going, I said I don't know You laughed and said that's how the lost ones go We talked until the station lights went dim You drew our names together on the window's skin Two strangers trading secrets in the dark You were the first person who left a mark [Pre-Chorus] You said forever starts with just one night I didn't know forever had a price I didn't know the world could take you back Before I ever learned to hold you tight [Chorus] Now I'm standing on the platform in the rain Waiting for a train that won't come again You were every answer to a prayer And I lost you on the last train to anywhere [Instrumental Interlude — No Vocals] [Lead Electric Guitar Solo — Crying, vocal-like tone, expressive string bends and long sustained notes, the guitar "sings" the grief the singer cannot voice, exposed and front-and-centre over shimmering synth pads and a soft pulse, no drums, 16 bars, no singing, humming, or vocalizations] [Verse 2] Three winters passed like water through my hands We built a little life on borrowed plans You taught me how to dance inside the kitchen light I taught you how to stay through every fight Then one morning you forgot my name And I watched the man I loved become a flame That burned so bright it left me in the cold A story that I never got to hold [Pre-Chorus] You said forever starts with just one night I didn't know forever had a price I didn't know the world could take you back Before I ever learned to hold you tight [Chorus] Now I'm standing on the platform in the rain Waiting for a train that won't come again You were every answer to a prayer And I lost you on the last train to anywhere [Instrumental Interlude — No Vocals] [Lead Electric Guitar Solo — Crying, vocal-like tone, answering the chorus with its own melodic line, escalating bends and vibrato, then falling into quiet resignation, 12 bars, no vocals of any kind] [Bridge — Stripped, Intimate, No Drums] They say the ones we love don't really leave They live inside the breath we still believe So I keep your jacket hanging by the door And I keep the seat beside me cold [Final Chorus — Full Arrangement, Soaring] I'm still standing on the platform in the rain Waiting for a train that won't come again You were every answer to a prayer And I lost you on the last train to anywhere I lost you on the last train to anywhere I lost you on the last train [Outro — Soft Synth Pad, Fading Pulse, No Vocals] [Lead Electric Guitar — Lone melodic fragment, distant and reverb-drenched, slow fade to silence]
