Late Train Home（バージョン2）

Verse

Station clock says nine past three

Engine's cooling where the platform used to be

Your coat on my shoulder still smells like smoke

Train is leaving but I'm not ready to go

You said stay till morning, stay till the sun

I kept counting every passing one

Streetlights flicker through your jacket sleeve

I know this ending is all it could ever be

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that whistle pulling far away

Is this goodbye or just a station pause

Tell me what to hold onto when the dark arrives

Or do I let it go, let it ride on by

Chorus

So it's a late train home without you now

Riding shadows where the light used to grow

I'm holding on but I don't wanna hold tight

Watch that engine disappear into the night

Late train home, no station in sight

Just this quiet humming through my chest tonight

Verse 2

Your fingers brushed mine on the platform edge

Farewell felt more like a temporary pledge

Papers scattered where we stood and didn't look

Now I'm folding up everything we ever knew

City lights blur into one long yellow glow

Every station this is, none of them are home

I keep walking south though I don't know what's down there

Maybe that's just the rhythm of an open air

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that whistle pulling far away

Is this goodbye or just a station pause

Tell me what to hold onto when the dark arrives

Or do I let it go, let it ride on by

Chorus

So it's a late train home without you now

Riding shadows where the light used to grow

I'm holding on but I don't wanna hold tight

Watch that engine disappear into the night

Late train home, no station in sight

Just this quiet humming through my chest tonight

Bridge

Maybe freedom feels like letting go

Maybe nothing good ever stayed still long ago

Every window I pass reflects a little less of you

And yet something warm keeps rising up through

So let it ride on by, let the dark decide

I built a fire out of goodbye

Chorus

So it's a late train home without you now

Riding shadows where the light used to grow

I'm holding on but I don't wanna hold tight

Watch that engine disappear into the night

Late train home, no station in sight

Just this quiet humming through my chest tonight
