9.5 Friday Night Trains

Intro

Rain on the glass

Yellow light flickers cold

Platform empty now

Footsteps echo down the hall

Verse 1

Old key turns slow

Door groans like it remembers

Dust on the windowsill

A notebook left on the chair

Flipping through pages

Faded ink and dates

November the fifth

"Iced buns from the kiosk"

"He laughed when the train whistled"

"Seven years old today"

Pre-Chorus

I barely looked back then

I was already gone

But someone was writing it down

Line by line

Chorus

Friday night trains

I thought they were nothing

Just waiting in the cold

Just waving goodbye

Friday night trains

What did I miss

Someone was counting the minutes

While I was counting the sky

Verse 2

March the twelfth

"He asked about the moon"

"Picked a wildflower"

"Pressed it in my coat"

September the third

"Walked him to the bridge"

"He said stay with me"

"I said next week for sure"

Pre-Chorus

The dates keep going

Years I can't remember

Every single Friday

He was right here

Chorus

Friday night trains

I thought they were nothing

Just standing on the platform

Just watching him wave

Friday night trains

Now I see the truth

Someone was saving the moments

I was too young to save

Bridge

And the rain keeps falling

Through the broken station roof

And I'm holding all these pages

Like a photograph of proof

He never said a word

He just wrote it in the dark

Every ordinary Friday

Made a map around my heart

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus

Friday night trains

Running through the rain

I'm reading every line now

And I'm never the same

Friday night trains

You carried him home

And I'll carry this notebook

Through every station I go

You were not just waiting

You were holding all the light

And I see you now

I see you now

I see you now

Outro

Rain on the glass

Yellow light flickers warm

Platform empty now

But I'm not alone anymore
