Strangers on a Train

City lights painting stripes across your face
In this quiet carriage, our temporary space
You looked up from your book, I looked up from mine
Two strangers sharing this transitory line

And I know we'll never meet again
After this night, after this train
But for these few hours, while the world moves fast
I wanna make this connection last

We're just strangers on a train, going who knows where
Sharing secrets in the night, like we haven't got a care
The tracks keep rolling on, taking us away
But I'll remember you beyond today

You told me about your dreams, I told you my fears
Watching stations disappear
The rhythm of the wheels becoming our own song
Making me wish this journey would prolong

And I know we'll never meet again
After this night, after this train
But for these few hours, while the world moves fast
I wanna make this connection last

We're just strangers on a train, going who knows where
Sharing secrets in the night, like we haven't got a care
The tracks keep rolling on, taking us away
But I'll remember you beyond today

Sometimes the deepest talks come from a nameless face
The purest connections leave without a trace
Just a ghost in my memory, beautiful and brief
A moment of true human relief

We're just strangers on a train, going who knows where
Sharing secrets in the night, like we haven't got a care
The tracks keep rolling on, taking us away
But I'll remember you beyond today
