[Intro] Mm… [Verse 1] Card reader beeps, green light, 12:13 Doors seal shut like they’re holding in steam Fluorescent buzz over tired eyes Rain on the glass in a thousand lines Neon bleeding down the windowpane My face in the reflection don’t feel the same Headphones on but I don’t press play ’Cause your last words hit me anyway [Pre-Chorus] Steel keeps singing under tired wheels Every mile making it more real I watch my breath fog up the view Like the night can’t hold the truth [Chorus] On the train home, I’m stuck on you Windows shake and the streetlights move I hold my phone like you might call But it’s just my heart hitting the wall And I swear I’m fine, but I don’t know Why every stop won’t let you go Yeah the city rolls, but I stay alone On the train home And that empty seat keeps holding you [Verse 2] A couple laughing in the seat ahead Fingers linked and I look away instead The station voice says “mind the gap” And I laugh at how my chest does that Your name half-typed in a blue-white glow I back it out, then I do it again slow My stop comes up and I let it slide I don’t move—like I’m scared to arrive [Pre-Chorus 2] Ads flicker like a late-night show Faces blur in the passing glow I trace the map like it’s gonna show A shortcut back to what I know [Chorus] On the train home, I’m stuck on you Windows shake and the streetlights move I hold my phone like you might call But it’s just my heart hitting the wall And I swear I’m fine, but I don’t know Why every stop won’t let you go Yeah the city rolls, but I stay alone On the train home And that empty seat keeps holding you [Interlude] Stand clear… the doors are closing Cold air rush, then it’s gone I don’t get off, I just hold on [Bridge] Maybe I’m not missing you Maybe I’m missing who I was When your hand was in my jacket pocket And the future felt like enough Now it’s station signs and static air And the quiet where you used to be I keep telling myself I’m getting there But I don’t know what “there” means [Final Chorus] On the train home, I’m stuck on you Windows shake and the streetlights move I hold my phone like you might call But it’s just my heart hitting the wall And I swear I’m fine, but I don’t know Why every stop won’t let you go Yeah the city rolls, but I stay alone On the train home… and I’m still not home And that empty seat keeps holding you [Outro] I step out slow, platform breathing cold Phone screen fades, and my hands feel old Your name stays bright behind my eyes As the train pulls off into the night
