I am as a free as the next man on the train
Bound to the rails along the tracks of our own lives
He utters not a single word, but I hear him all the same
As his vacant look depicts the words portraying his own plight

If there is one thing we share
It's our enduring sense of loneliness
Our unwillingness to admit that we have
But one care
To alleviate the troubled thoughts
To mediate with the mind
And regain a sense of self whilst we

Roll on through the night
Hear the chugging of our hearts
Feel the tugging of the memories that flaunt their sorrow
Hold your gaze with me
And I'll pretend to know you well
Don't know if you can tell
There's an affinity between us

As he looks up from his paper cup to assert that I'm still here
He graces me with a half smile, whilst looking at the floor
I ignore the call, the crackling speakers, as the train halts at my stop
Sir I don't wish to vacate my seat, let me stay an hour more

'Cause there's just this one thing we want
To cease all the internal feuds
To release ourselves from solitude
One thing for which we long
To feel the joy of love again
To heal the harrowed heart
So let's try to loose ourselves whilst we

Roll on through the night
Hear the chugging of our hearts
Feel the tugging of the memories that flaunt their sorrow
Hold your gaze with me
And I'll pretend to know you well
Don't know if you can tell
There's an affinity between us

Shall we savour this second
For the sun's about to reach the finish line
Would you hold me close
Like I've always been your friend
Remember me in time
Oh whilst I wish to stay
I best be making my way
