[Intro improvisational atmospheric cinematic] [hook] **Verse 1** The whistle cuts the platform air Your shadow’s caught in the station glare Your hand won’t let go, but the doors will close Metal hums underfoot, and the distance grows And every inch between us starts Before the train has even pulled apart --- **Chorus** Rails like veins through the skin of the earth Pulling me on, pulling you in reverse Wheels gathering speed, moments blur into days But your lips still taste of wine, love, and cigarettes And that’s the part I can’t forget --- **Verse 2** Through the glass, your face divides In reflections and the city lights The world tilts forward, my seat pulls me back Landscapes folding into silver tracks The faster we go, the less I breathe But your eyes are the last thing I’ll ever leave --- **Chorus** Rails like veins through the skin of the earth Pulling me on, pulling you in reverse Wheels gathering speed, moments blur into days But your lips still taste of wine, love, and cigarettes And that’s the part I can’t forget --- **Bridge** If time could derail, if the brakes would give way I’d be running back down through the light and decay But the engine just hums and the skyline just bends And I’m carried away until nothing’s left to defend --- **Outro** Rails like veins still running through The part of the earth that still holds you [cinematic end - atmospheric]
