You stepped on the Northern train
As we said a strained goodbye
That stung my eyes, stung my eyes
Waited there on platform 8
Hadn't thought of where to go
And town was closed, couldn't go home
But it turns out you had taken the train
In the wrong direction and had to come back
And I wanted to wait but I knew that it meant
That we had to say goodbye all over again
All over again

But you packed all your bags, you were ready to go
And I knew that I wanted to keep you the most
But you can't stay, no you can't stay
It's like I didn't get to know you at all

Ticket machine took your cash
Soaking you in as we stood
Nice and close, I'm glad we could

Minutes passing way to fast
Would this be the last goodbye
To sting my eyes, to sting my eyes

I admit I loved being there
Just sit on the pavement and laugh at mistakes
Such as getting the train in the wrong direction
I guess we would have just made them all over again
Made them all over again

But you packed all your bags, you were ready to go
And I knew that I wanted to keep you the most
But you can't stay, no you can't stay
It's like I didn't get to know you at all

But you packed all your bags and you're ready to go
And I know that I wanted to keep you the most
But you could stay, yeah you could stay
If you wanna get to know me at all
