Last Train Siren

Last train breathing under platform lights Rain on the glass like a warning sign Speaker cracks, then the whole line hums Nobody moves when the night voice comes Phone on one percent, no signal left City in the window holding its breath Route map flickers like it knows my name Red line bleeding through a broken frame There’s a voice still caught inside the wires Soft as smoke but it cuts like fire I told myself it was only the track Then my reflection started looking back And it sounded like you From a year I buried deep Every note came through Like a promise I couldn’t keep The doors stayed closed When my stop rolled by Then the tunnel opened wide She sings in the window when the city goes black One note forward, two years back Don’t follow her voice on the last train home She sounds like the person you used to know One more stop and your heart won’t leave She only calls when you still believe Last train siren, don’t sing my name I know that voice, but it wears your pain Don’t follow Don’t follow Last train siren She calls through the railway lines Old man said, Don’t watch the black glass side Some names stay scratched where the windows cry Ticket on the floor with a faded date Every lost love saves a seat And I knew it weren’t you But I wanted it to be So I followed the tune Like it still belonged to me Next stop came up blank on the screen Doors slid open to your old street I should’ve run when the cold wind blew But it sounded too much like you She sings in the window when the city goes black One note forward, two years back I followed her voice on the last train home Chasing the person I used to know One more stop and my heart won’t leave She only calls when you still believe Last train siren, you can keep my name I knew that voice, but I went all the same Last train siren Now my name is in the night Next stop, nowhere you can leave
