Sometimes you see someone When you’ve already got Still you wonder what if they had come Along, a long time ago You know that they’re feeling it too But there ain’t nothin’ you gonna do Except for imagine who you might have been with They’re not tryin’ to make it last Just enjoying each second as they pass
‘Cause as these little brick houses are flying by ‘Neath the flickering of the railcar lights let myself get lost in your eyes a while Not another passenger in here can see How in my mind you’re holdin’ me While outside the cold snow out of the rain But in here were just strangers on train
Start to smile, I turn my head It’s kinda like a spider’s web I just can’t seem to sake you off So I look your way again You’re staring off to pretend Like you haven’t noticed me at all But don’t feel guilty it don’t mean much The truth is the two of us ain’t never gonna touch
‘Cause as these little brick houses are flying by ‘Neath the flickering of the lights I let myself get lost in your eyes a while Not another passenger in here can see How in my mind you’re holdin’ me While outside the cold makes out of the rain But in here were just strangers on a train
Brakes grind, I gotta go Reach down pick up my coat Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle my breath rising in the air I can’t do nothing but just stand there As you press your hand against the windowpane And I to my stranger on a train My stranger on a train.
