2049 - A futile wait ( Twee pop )

[Verse 1] I waited for you far too long Watched the last train slip away Departures flicker Platform crowded My eyes fixed on the gate Convinced that you’d arrive Phone trembling in my hand Every footstep Every whisper Fades like something I had planned [Chorus] Vain hope A futile wait Keeps me nailed To a closing door Vain hope It hollows me I’m stuck on the pavement While the world moves on [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] Neon bleeding into dawn Bartender stifles a yawn Cold iron bench Your name in my throat Like a word I can’t let out Convinced that you’d arrive I let the night decay Now the sky pales And I’m still here Alone at eight a.m. [Chorus] Vain hope A futile wait Keeps me nailed To a closing door Vain hope It hollows me I missed my train too But not yours [Bridge] How many times I told myself “enough” Still I return To the same stop A sign flips To another line But your track Stays lost in my mind [Final Chorus] Vain hope This useless wait Keeps me tied To your old word Vain hope It devours me I’m left standing still While you go elsewhere
