Under my skin

The platform's empty now, just echoes remain
I'm watching the clock, but it's all the same
The last train's gone, and I'm still here
Waiting for something to reappear

I see your reflection in the glass, it's faint
Like a memory wrapped in old, peeling paint
The signal blinks, but nothing moves
Just me and the night, lost in the grooves

I can see you, your face in the crowd, just slipping away
Like the last train out at the end of the day
I tried to hold on, but you were gone
The world keeps turning, I'm falling behind
Caught in the space you left in my mind

You wore your old jacket like it was new
With those boots that had walked a mile or two
Your hands in your pockets, your head in a cloud
You never had to speak to make yourself loud

You moved like the city was a part of your skin
Every corner you turned felt like where you'd begin
You smiled like you knew something no one could guess
Like you were the calm in the middle of the mess

I can see you, your face in the crowd, just slipping away
Like the last train out at the end of the day
I tried to hold on, but you were gone
The world keeps turning, I'm falling behind
Caught in the space you left in my mind

I'm walking slow, with my hands in my coat
Watching the shadows, the words you never wrote
The train's long gone, but you're still here
Man, I knew it then – you're the one so clear

The whistle's gone, and the air's growing thin
I'm taking the steps, with you under my skin
Another train to nowhere just rolled away
But I'm still stuck in yesterday

I can see you, your face in the crowd, just slipping away
Like the last train out at the end of the day
I tried to hold on, but you were gone
The world keeps turning, I'm falling behind
Caught in the space you left in my mind

You never chased dreams, they seemed to chase you
Like the world itself didn't know what to do
You stood your ground, while the rest moved fast
Made every moment feel like it could last

I can see you, your face in the crowd, just slipping away
Like the last train out at the end of the day
I tried to hold on, but you were gone
The world keeps turning, I'm falling behind
Caught in the space you left in my mind
