2AM on the Overground (version 2)

Verse

Doors slide open, Camden's breathing steam

Your jacket's silver static under sodium beam

Bassline ticking like a pulse in my chest

Sixteen carriage windows, you're the only one I check

Elbows brush at Highbury, no words yet

Just a half-smile through the crowd we won't forget

Track skips forward, so does my heart

Same direction, only strangers at the start

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the floor shake under London's skin

Two more stops and I don't know where to begin

Say something before the tannoy interrupts

This whole carriage humming like it's had enough

Chorus

Meet me at 2AM on the Overground

Where the lights blur soft and the bass wraps around

Nobody's rushing, the night's holding still

Just your hand near mine on the window sill

2AM on the Overground

Verse

Dalston Junction, you shift your feet

Phone lights flicker down our empty seat

I count the stations like a rosary of chance

Hackney, Homerton, one more glance

You mouth the words to the tune leaking through my ear

Static kiss of a chorus we both hold dear

Rain runs sideways on the glass tonight

Turns the platform gold in the passing light

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the floor shake under London's skin

Two more stops and I don't know where to begin

Say something before the tannoy interrupts

This whole carriage humming like it's had enough

Chorus

Meet me at 2AM on the Overground

Where the lights blur soft and the bass wraps around

Nobody's rushing, the night's holding still

Just your hand near mine on the window sill

2AM on the Overground

Bridge

Maybe it's the doors that keep us close

Maybe it's the song nobody chose

Either way I'm staying till the end of the line

Even if it's only for a moment in time

Chorus

Meet me at 2AM on the Overground

Where the lights blur soft and the bass wraps around

Nobody's rushing, the night's holding still

Just your hand near mine on the window sill

2AM on the Overground
