Standing On A Platform

Standing on a platform, covered in snow
This is where your train left an hour ago
And I don't know where I should go

You asked me to meet you, said you wanted to talk
6 o'clock on the street you and I used to walk
And I didn't know where it would go

When I got to the bar, it was hard for to miss
That this place isn't far from where we had our first kiss
And my heart was ready to run

Then I saw you appear from across the way
And as you drew near your face was bright as day
And my heart
My heart was undone

Oh, it's been so many years since you've said my name
And I'm holding back my tears, tell me do you feel the same
My eyes adjust to find the light this winter's night
And I am right here waiting for you

There across the table, not as close as you should be
You smiled at me and asked me how the years had been to me
And I felt those years fall away

I was right back to my old ways, and we joked about the past
And just like in those gold days, I knew that I was falling fast
And my heart
My heart ran away

To a place that I hide in my soul
Where there's space for two halves to be whole
Where the door never fully closed
I will open it for you
If you ask me to

And just as I was starting to forget the pain I'd been through
You stood up and said "it was nice to have seen you
But I should be on my way"

So you just wanted to see if I was doing alright
And catch up on the past like two distant friends might
But when I saw your face again under that street light
I realised I'm still hoping for more tonight

Oh don't you want to stay a while? It's not even that late
But you shook your head and smiled; you've got a train at half past eight
Now I'm searching for a sign to show but I don't know
Am I the only one still holding on

Each step up to the platform I was one year older
Kept hoping that you would look over your shoulder
But you kept moving on

Standing on a platform, covered in snow
Where your train left two hours ago
And I
I'm going home
