(Verse 1) I catch the first train from the starting station Sit in my usual spot, same old location Next stop arrives, two staff on the track Standing right there, ready in back Helping a guy in a wheelchair board the line He rides for four stops, right on time Two more staff wait with a ramp in hand To help him step down and touch the land (Pre-Chorus) And I start to picture where his story goes He takes the elevator, slow and close Takes his time through the ticket gate Rolls down the long road, pushing his weight Yeah, my one kilometer and his one mile Ain’t the same journey, not by a mile (Chorus) I feel that sonder wash over my mind It made me realize that everyone has their own life Every single soul with a story inside Yeah, I feel that sonder, deep down inside (Verse 2) Rolling into Tokyo, looking outside Giant anthills reaching up high Towers of flats as far as I see Twelve million people in this galaxy Behind every window that flickers a light A whole different world is breathing tonight (Pre-Chorus) I picture a young guy leaving the floor Clocking out late from the factory door Climbing those steel stairs, heavy and slow Into the breakroom, sitting down low Scrolling his phone in the quiet air Looking for a spark to take him out of there (Chorus) I feel that sonder wash over my mind It made me realize that everyone has their own life Every single soul with a story inside Yeah, I feel that sonder, deep down inside
