[Intro] Neon flickers underground She sits still without a sound Phone light glowing on her face Like she's somewhere out in space [Verse 1] Two a.m. beneath the city Dirty glass still looking pretty Blue light dancing on her skin She keeps scrolling, sinking in Every stranger knows her name Every night looks just the same Hundred hearts beneath her post Still she looks just like a ghost I can see it in her eyes All the things she tries to hide She keeps smiling for the screen Living somewhere in between [Pre-Chorus] She keeps running through the dark Looking for another spark Every signal, every sign Waiting for him to come online [Chorus] Subway train, midnight pain She's in need of him again Searching for her online fame Streaming live Looking for another vein She calls herself a human stain Empty car on midnight train Trying just to feel alive [Post-Chorus] Alive Alive Trying just to feel alive Alive Alive I can see it in her eyes [Verse 2] Mirror selfie, hollow eyes Filters hide the lonely nights Everybody sees the glow No one knows how far she'll go Notifications flood her phone Still she's sitting there alone Every comment disappears Nothing louder than her fears I don't know her, not her name Still I somehow feel her pain She looks up, then looks away Like she's got no words to say [Pre-Chorus] She keeps chasing something real Something she can touch and feel But the city passes by And I wonder if she'll cry [Chorus] Subway train, midnight pain She's in need of him again Searching for her online fame Streaming live Looking for another vein She calls herself a human stain Empty car on midnight train Trying just to feel alive [Drop / Vocal Hook] Alive, alive She's just trying to survive Alive, alive Under flashing lights Alive, alive I can see it in her eyes Empty car, electric heart Trying just to feel alive [Bridge] Maybe somewhere past the station Past the noise and validation There's a girl she used to know Before the screens began to glow Maybe when the signal dies She'll stop hiding lonely eyes Maybe silence sets her free Maybe she'll remember who she'd be I almost ask her for her name Almost tell her I'm the same But the train moves through the night And we both just watch the lights [Breakdown] No more cameras No more names No more numbers No more games Just her breathing Just the rain Just two strangers On this train [Final Chorus] Subway train, midnight pain She's in need of him again Searching for her online fame Streaming live Looking for another vein She calls herself a human stain Empty car on midnight train Trying just to feel alive Subway train, midnight pain Will she ever feel again? All those faces know her name But not her life Looking through the windowpane Watching tears become the rain I just watch her leave the train Still trying to feel alive [Outro] Alive Alive She's just trying to feel alive Last stop calling through the rain She walks out I stay on the train
