10 Things Left Behind S1E 9: “The Night Everything Changed”

[INTRO] [Low heartbeat-like synth pulse] [VERSE 1] I remember the rain I remember the station I remember the woman Standing under the lights I remember the mailbox I remember the photograph I remember everything Except what happened that night [VERSE 2] There was a train leaving There was somebody running There was somebody waiting There was somebody afraid There was a letter unopened There was a promise unspoken There was a choice on the table And a life that could change [CHORUS] That was the night everything changed Though nobody knew why A train disappeared into darkness While somebody stayed behind A red umbrella hit the pavement A yellow coat vanished in rain And somebody wrote 11:17 Then forgot their own name [VERSE 3] I thought I was looking for someone I thought someone had gone away I thought the photograph belonged To somebody else’s yesterday But then I found the final ticket And the handwriting became clear The person I’d spent seventeen years missing Was the person standing here [PRE-CHORUS] Me. [CHORUS] That was the night everything changed And now I finally see I wasn’t chasing someone’s ghost I was chasing part of me The letters weren’t written to another The photograph wasn’t proof of you The woman in the yellow coat Was the memory I buried too [BRIDGE] I was there. I was waiting. I was running. I was afraid. I was the one who left. I was the one who stayed. I was the voice on the radio. I was the hand that wrote the page. I was the stranger on the platform. I was seventeen years away. [FINAL CHORUS] That was the night everything changed And tomorrow starts tonight I don’t need another answer I just need to make it right The train is coming back at midnight The clock is almost there And for the first time in seventeen years I won’t disappear [OUTRO] [Train approaching] 11:16…
