Last Tube Home (Version 3)

Verse

Doors slide shut, your sleeve brushes mine

Strangers packed on the last tube line

Glass gone fogged where the tunnel breathes

Your eyes catch mine through the amber streaks

Bassline ghost still stuck in my chest

Carriage sways like it knows the rest

Coat you're wearing smells like the club

Half past one and we're falling in love

Pre-Chorus

Lights flicker out, we lean in close

Static crackle on the overheads and go

Don't know your name but I know your sway

Same four counts till we lose the day

Chorus

Stay on the last tube home

Stay on the last tube home

Nowhere to be, we can ride alone

Stay on the last tube home

Verse

Six stops left and the windows shake

Your hand finds mine, no words to make

Tannoy crackles some place I don't know

Doesn't matter, we're not getting off

Neon platforms blur past the glass

Both of us laughing, don't know why we laugh

Your knee taps time to a song in your head

I match the rhythm, nothing's been said

Pre-Chorus

Lights flicker out, we lean in close

Static crackle on the overheads and go

Don't know your name but I know your sway

Same four counts till we lose the day

Chorus

Stay on the last tube home

Stay on the last tube home

Nowhere to be, we can ride alone

Stay on the last tube home

Bridge

Doors will open, this won't last

Platform empty, announcement's cast

But your thumb still traces my palm's line

Maybe we ride past the end of the line

Maybe we ride past the end of the line

Chorus

Stay on the last tube home

Stay on the last tube home

Nowhere to be, we can ride alone

Stay on the last tube home
