David Nail - Strangers On A Train Lyrics

Sometimes you see someone when you've already got someone
Still you wonder what if they had come a long, a long time ago
You know that they're feeling it too but there ain't nothing 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 rail car 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 we're 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 rail car 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 we're 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
