[Intro] (The muffled ambient sound of a busy train station platform. A robotic automated voice echo: "The next train to depart from platform four..." A pulsing, warm synth bass kicks in) Yeah, yeah... Don't close the doors yet. Hold 'em for me. [Verse 1] I left my jacket on the floor of the pub on Greek Street Running through the rain, ruined my new sneaks My phone is on five percent, flashing red Rethinking every stupid thing that I just said You took a cab to Euston, wouldn't look back Said we're a beautiful engine running out of track Now I’m cutting through the crowds, pushing through the barrier Chasing down the ghost of the girl I wanna marry, yeah. [Pre-Chorus] And the boards are changing from green to amber My heart's a heavy drum in the departure chamber If I’m a minute late, then I lose the plot Are you really leaving? Ready or not. [Chorus] Because the clock is ticking down on the digital screen And I’m standing right where we used to be If you get on that carriage, then it’s all gone south I’m running out of breath at the last train out! Give me one more second, let me clear the air Look down the platform, tell me you’re still there Don’t let the taillights fade in the midnight blue 'Cause the last train out is nothing without you! (The beat explodes: a heavy, crashing drum fill blends with a massive, euphoric electronic synth hook) Yeah, it's nothing without you. [Verse 2] I see the yellow line, I see the steam rise Looking through the windows, searching for your eyes Coach C, Coach D, passing by the glass Watching my whole life moving way too fast You’re sitting by the window with your headphones on Playing that sad song, probably think I’m gone But I knock on the window, soaking to the bone Please don't let this journey be a journey alone. [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the boards are changing from green to amber My heart's a heavy drum in the departure chamber If I’m a minute late, then I lose the plot Are you really leaving? Ready or not. [Chorus] Because the clock is ticking down on the digital screen And I’m standing right where we used to be If you get on that carriage, then it’s all gone south I’m running out of breath at the last train out! Give me one more second, let me clear the air Look down the platform, tell me you’re still there Don’t let the taillights fade in the midnight blue 'Cause the last train out is nothing without you! [Bridge] (The heavy drums drop out, leaving an echoing, spacey synth pad and an emotional vocal delivery) The guard blows the whistle, the metal starts to scream... Are we just history, or are we still a dream? (Vocal builds up, doubling into a passionate, raw belt) I see you turn your head. You see me in the rain. You’re standing up... you're reaching for the handle of the train! One, two, step off for me! [Guitar & Synth Drop] (A triumphant combination of a soaring indie guitar riff and a chopping, energetic house synth loop that feels completely celebratory) [Chorus] Because the clock is ticking down on the digital screen (ticking down!) And I’m standing right where we used to be You stepped off that carriage, yeah we pulled it out We’re standing in the rain at the last train out! Give me one more second, let me clear the air Look down the platform, I'm so glad you're there Don’t care about the taillights in the midnight blue 'Cause the last train out is nothing without you! [Outro] (The high-energy drums slowly fade into a simple acoustic guitar strum) Yeah, the train can leave. We can just walk home. Just you and me. (A final, distant train whistle echoes out as the synth hum fades completely)
