Train Ride

[Intro] Guitar strings echo in the morning rush, A melody of memories about to gush. [Verse 1] He's racing 'gainst the clock, heart's in a chase, Dodging through the crowd, it's like a maze. Just makes the train, a breathless win, A glance outside, nostalgia begins. [Pre-Chorus] On that old station bench, they laughed away, High school days, where dreams could play. A fleeting look, a silent yearn, To those simple times, his thoughts return. [Chorus] "Take me back," he whispers to the glass, To days of youth that passed too fast. The train moves on, but his heart rides, Back to where his joy resides. [Verse 2] Inside the carriage, he sees their past, Young and free, time flew so fast. Uniformed figures, a frantic dash, Doors closing, a near miss, a gasp. [Pre-Chorus] A push, a stumble, they're face to face, Inches apart in a crowded space. Eyes meet, then shy away, A moment's heat, then cool as day. [Chorus] "Take me back," he sings to the beat, To whispered secrets they'd discreetly keep. The train moves on, but his heart rides, Back to where his joy resides. [Outro] The station's near, his journey ends, He stands to leave, as the door extends. And there she is, not just a memory, The girl from his past, at the same entry. [Instrumental] [End] A train ride of thoughts, a track of dreams, Life's full of surprises, or so it seems.
