strangers on a train

sometimes you see someone, when you've already got someone, 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 them, 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, 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 snow out of the rain, but in here were just strangers on a train, start to smile, i turn my head, it's kinda like a spider's web, i just can't seem to shake you off, so i look your way again, you're staring off trying to pretend, like you haven't even 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 railcar 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 snow 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, watch 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 wave to my stranger on a train, my stranger on a train
