Northbound Train

Short hair, tattoos

You reminded me of someone I knew

Can't say just why

But the bullets 'round your neck

Told me I should try

To get to know you, stranger

Can I sit next to you

On a northbound train with a golden hour view

I only know your name

Where you're from, and where you're going

But somehow I already love you

Is my bleeding heart showing

Maybe I'll see you at a bar

A few months later

Or maybe somewhere else

I remember you don't drink

I'll ask you how you've been

Can we be friends

I know you already

Or at least that's what I think

Northbound train, take me back

To the place I'm from

Snow and rain on the tracks

But I'm safe and warm

Stranger, you sent me there with a heart so full

I'll never forget you or the short ride we shared
