Last Train to 4am

Intro

Station's dark except the schedule board

Station lights still humming

Last train don't leave till four am

Stay a little, lose an hour

Verse 1

Bicycle leans against the pillar

Conductor counting out change for now

He says you get off where the traffic thins

Says the highway's full of smoke and fog

Your hair is tangled from the train door

I like this version better than the one on the screen

Chorus

Last train to 4am

We're running late but I don't care

Sunlight comes too early here

Last train to 4am, let's keep it there

Last train to 4am

Every minute feels like more time

Windows black and your hand on my arm

Verse 2

The engineer yells back into the night

Says he'll blow the whistle when we're close to town

We grab the poles like they're holding us tight

Watching the stars turn pale one by one

You point up at Orion where it starts to fade

Says the constellations run on their own schedule

Chorus

Last train to 4am

We're running late but I don't care

Sunlight comes too early here

Last train to 4am, let's keep it there

Last train to 4am

Every minute feels like more time

Windows black and your hand on my arm

Bridge

Maybe the whole city is still awake

Maybe we're just the ones who don't care

I don't want this to slow down or stop

Just hold the pole, watch the stars turn white

No one's rushing, nobody's counting down

We're floating through hours in a dark blue cloud

Chorus

Last train to 4am

We're running late but I don't care

Sunlight comes too early here

Last train to 4am, let's keep it there

Last train to 4am

Every minute feels like more time

Windows black and your hand on my arm

Outro

Conductor calls out four o'clock

Porch light flickers right outside the door

I'm glad we missed the morning sun

We're running late, but this is fine
