Last Train Home

dreamy indie pop, soft female vocals, warm synths, mid-tempo

Lyrics

Verse 1

Eleven fifty-two, the doors sigh shut behind me
Three strangers and a sleeping coat, a paper cup of tea
My headphones hum a slow song, the kind that doesn't ask
The glass holds back the dark and gives my face a neon mask

Chorus 1

Let the city slide, let it slide on by
Red and gold and electric blue across the window sky
Nobody needs me now, and I'm alright
On the last train home, I'm alright tonight

Verse 2

The office left its fingerprints on the shoulders of my coat
But every stop that passes seems to loosen one more note
A billboard girl smiles at me, then she's gone to light
The river's just a ribbon, the bridge a string of white

Chorus 2

Let the city slide, let it slide on by
Red and gold and electric blue across the window sky
Nobody needs me now, and I'm alright
On the last train home, I'm alright tonight

Bridge 1

I used to call this quiet lonely
Now it's just a room with no one talking
Just the rhythm of the rails below me
Just my own two hands, my own slow breathing
And the lights go on without me
And I love that they go on without me

Chorus 3

Let the city slide, let it slide on by
Red and gold and electric blue across the window sky
Nobody needs me now, and I'm alright
On the last train home, I'm alright tonight
