Verse 1 The loneliness didn't leave. It just stepped outside to smoke another cigarette. I stayed behind, counting cracks across the ceiling, pretending silence was something I could fix. They never tell you love isn't always rescue. Sometimes it's just two broken hearts borrowing warmth before the cold remembers where they live. Pre-Chorus The E train screamed beneath the city, dragging chains through steel and rain. Everybody wore exhaustion like another winter coat. Then you found me... Chorus You kissed me like you found something holy buried underneath a lifetime of almosts. You looked at me like loneliness had finally blinked. Not beaten... Just forgotten for one impossible heartbeat. And for a moment I believed I could stay. Verse 2 Fluorescent lights made saints out of strangers. Half the car smelled like rain... rust... old cigarettes... and yesterday. You smiled like we'd escaped every room that ever taught us we weren't enough. For one stop... we belonged. Bridge Trains keep moving. Cities swallow miracles. People disappear. Years learn your handwriting. Ghosts... learn your first name. Still... Somewhere beneath Manhattan, that subway car never reached its destination. Final Chorus You kissed me like the world had made one beautiful mistake. You held me like tomorrow could wait outside. The train kept moving. The city kept breathing. We kept becoming people we couldn't keep. But somewhere inside the dark, that subway car is still rattling forward... Carrying two damaged souls who hadn't disappointed each other yet. Outro If heaven exists... I hope it sounds like subway tracks... carrying us toward the version of ourselves that never had to say goodbye.
