I think I'll pay
a hundred bucks to let them fool me
that a card with a hole is the ticket
to my dreams.
And it's not okay
'cause every time I try to break the routine,
don't know where to begin,
and I don't even know where I'm going.
Same directions, and destinations;
but tonight I will depart here.
This train won't take me anywhere,
only to circles that won't end.
It pulls me down to where I'm seated
and sends me back to where I started.
This train can take me anywhere
to all those places I don't care.
'Cause when you're here seated beside me,
I know that you can take me
everywhere, anyway.
Then you came
in your plainest of jeans
and the color of green
that matches your skin and I know…
I have seen you
everyday;
but today's not the same
'cause you're walking with him
and you're talking to him.
Well, you know each other well.
A new direction, and uncharted regions;
you took my reasons to ride here.
This train won't take me anywhere,
only to circles that won't end.
It pulls me down to where I'm seated
and sends me back to where I started.
This train can take me anywhere
to all those places I don't care.
'Cause when you're here seated beside me,
I know that you can take me
everywhere, anyway.
But it’s cold and I wish
to hold you but I won’t;
for your arms and your heart,
they all have a different home.
And I know I don't have the luxury of time.
In a while, we'll be approaching
all the lights of Ayala Station.
It’s goodbye.
We're stations away;
but the bliss that you bring
when you're boarding this train
is more than the pain that I feel
when I see you…
a stranger again,
again and again,
again and again and again
in this train.
