[Intro] The station clock slips past midnight Your laugh stays warm in the street [Verse 1] We reach the gate as station shutters fall A guard turns the final sign to closed Our footsteps cross the tiled arcade Half-lit windows hold their quiet poses The vending-machine glow colors your sleeve You take a coffee; I do the same Crosswalk signals change for no one Still we wait for green before we move [Pre-Chorus] You say, “There’s nowhere else to be” I say, “Morning isn’t far” [Chorus] last train, first light The city fades from blue to white No need to name what this might be Stay here beside me while the windows gather light [Verse 2] We sit above empty platforms Paper cups cool between our hands Shop signs blink out, one by one A bakery wakes behind the wall The sky turns gray above the rooftops Then finds a narrow edge of rose Early delivery bicycles whisper Through intersections washed and still [Pre-Chorus] You check the time but make no move I watch the daylight find your face [Chorus] last train, first light The city fades from blue to white No need to name what this might be Stay here beside me while the windows gather light [Bridge] Maybe it was only walking Maybe it was something more Neither of us asks the question When the first doors start to open [Final Chorus] last train, first light The city fades from blue to white No need to name what this might be Stay here beside me while the windows gather light The first bus hums beside the curb We stand, but neither steps away [Outro] You point toward the morning We miss one more on purpose
