Finding Love On The Red Line

FINDING LOVE ON THE RED LINE [Intro] [silky Rhodes, warm bass, dusty hip-hop drums, distant train ambience] Yeah... Ooh... (ooh, yeah) Late-night train... Red line... Never knew I'd find you here... [Verse 1] [smooth Neo-Soul groove] I was riding downtown with my headphones on, Trying to leave another long day behind and gone. You walked on at the next stop, caught my eye, Something in the way you smiled made me look twice. You sat across from me, pretending not to stare, I caught you smiling when you thought I wasn't there. Train kept moving, but the whole world slowed, Funny how a crowded car can feel like home. [Ad-libs] Yeah... (right there) Ooh... (I saw you) No way... (for real) Baby... [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it was timing, Maybe it was fate. Maybe love was waiting At the very next train station. [Chorus] [big layered R&B vocals] I found love on the Red Line... (Red Line) Somewhere between your stop and mine. I found love on the Red Line... (ooh, yeah) Didn't even know I was looking for a sign. Now every station feels brand new, 'Cause every track keeps leading me to you. Who would've thought I'd find what I was missing On a late-night ride... Finding love on the Red Line. [Verse 2] [bass gets deeper, funky guitar accents] You gave me your number before you got off, Said, "Call me when you make it home," then you smiled and walked. I watched the doors close, thinking, "This can't be real," Funny how one little moment can change the way you feel. Now every evening, I'm checking the time, Catching that same train just to see if you're mine. Same red seats, same city lights, But everything looks different when you're sitting by my side. [Ad-libs] Same train... (same train) Different feeling... (different feeling) Ooh... (there you are) Yeah... [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it was timing, Maybe it was fate. Maybe love was waiting At the very next train station. [Chorus] I found love on the Red Line... (Red Line) Somewhere between your stop and mine. I found love on the Red Line... (ooh, yeah) Didn't even know I was looking for a sign. Now every station feels brand new, 'Cause every track keeps leading me to you. Who would've thought I'd find what I was missing On a late-night ride... Finding love on the Red Line. [Bridge] [beat drops, Rhodes and soft guitar] Maybe love ain't always fireworks, Maybe sometimes it's a stranger's eyes. A little conversation, A smile at the right time. And maybe every wrong turn Was just a road that led me here. Now I don't care where this train goes As long as you are near. [Falsetto] Ooh... Stay with me... Don't get off yet... [Breakdown] [minimal drums, train rhythm samples, vocal chants] Next stop... (next stop) Hold my hand... (hold my hand) Stay with me... (stay with me) Don't leave... Red Line... (Red Line) Love line... (love line) You and me... Same ride... [Final Chorus] [full R&B/Neo-Soul arrangement, stacked harmonies] I found love on the Red Line... (Red Line) Somewhere between your stop and mine. I found love on the Red Line... (yeah) Now I never want to leave this ride. Every station, every turn, Feels like there's another memory to learn. Who would've thought the love of my life Would be sitting next to me On a late-night ride... Finding love on the Red Line... Yeah... Finding love on the Red Line. [Outro] [Rhodes, bass, train ambience and vocal harmonies fade] Doors closing... Ooh... (don't go) Next stop... forever... Same train... Same city... Different life... I found you... On the Red Line...
