Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I walked into that station at eleven

Plastic bag with flowers in my hand

The intercom was broken

Couldn't understand a single word

Train was late again like every Tuesday

Someone's kid was crying down the hall

And I saw you standing by the vending machine

Checking change inside your coat

Pre-Chorus

Five years since I saw your face

Five years since we walked away

You don't know I'm here right now

You don't know I came back to this town

Chorus

I brought white roses to a hospital room

Nobody told me you already moved

The nurse just said you checked out yesterday

Didn't leave a forwarding address

I brought white roses and a letter I wrote

Wasn't sure I'd even give it to you

Now I'm standing where I started

Watching trains come and go

Verse 2

You always said you'd leave this city

Told me that the winter never ends

I said I'd follow anywhere you wanted

But I never could pretend

The ticket machine was blinking

I put my bag down on the floor

Thought about the room you're in right now

Somewhere I have never been before

Pre-Chorus

Same clothes I wore when we were kids

Same habit of biting your lip

You don't see me through the glass

Maybe this was never meant to last

Bridge

I could buy a ticket

I could get on board

I could find some answer

That I've been looking for

But the flowers are still fresh

And you're already gone

And this station keeps on running

Like nothing happened at all

Instrumental Journey

Final Chorus

I brought white roses to a hospital room

Nobody told me you already moved

The nurse just said you checked out yesterday

Didn't leave a forwarding address

I'm holding white roses in my empty hands

Watching people move across the platforms

Maybe some things end before they're done

Maybe that's okay

Outro

Train's pulling in now

I'm not getting on

Train's pulling in now

I'm not getting on
