Lyrics
I'm alone, sitting with my empty glass
Expressing a sense of loneliness while reflecting on the present.
My four walls follow me through my past
Feeling haunted by memories as represented by the four walls that surround the speaker.
I was on a Paris train, I emerged in London rain
Recalling a journey from Paris to London and the emotional transition that occurred during it.
And you were waiting there, swimming through apologies
Meeting someone who was waiting and navigating through apologies, possibly indicating a complex relationship.
I remember searching for the perfect words
Reflecting on the difficulty of finding the right words, perhaps in the context of a strained relationship.
I was hoping you might change your mind
Expressing hope for a change of heart from the other person.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Recalling a moment with a soldier, suggesting a connection to war or conflict.
Riding on the Metro
Referencing riding on the Metro, possibly symbolizing a journey through life or relationships.
You wore white, smiling as you took my hand
Describing a meeting where the other person wore white and held the speaker's hand.
So removed, we spoke of wintertime in France
Feeling emotionally distant, discussing wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words
Noting that time passed with superficial or insincere conversations.
Years have passed and still the hurt
Expressing enduring emotional pain over the years.
Oh, I can see you now, smiling as I pulled away
Recalling a moment of parting with a bittersweet memory of the other person smiling.
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
Remembering a letter with a declaration of eternal love.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
Expressing strong emotions in response to the heartfelt message.
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Recalling a night spent together along the Seine, a river in Paris.
Riding on the Metro
Linking emotions and memories to the act of riding on the Metro.
I remember a feeling coming over me
Experiencing a powerful emotion during a moment on the Metro.
The soldier turned, then looked away
Noting a change in the soldier's demeanor, possibly reflecting inner conflict.
I remember hating you for loving me
Expressing resentment towards the other person for their love.
Riding on the Metro
Reiterating the emotional journey associated with riding on the Metro.
I'm alone, sitting with my broken glass
Revisiting feelings of loneliness, now accompanied by a broken glass symbolizing emotional fragility.
My four walls follow me through my past
Repetition of the feeling of being trapped by memories within four walls.
I was on a Paris train, I emerged in London rain
Reiterating the journey from Paris to London and the emotional turbulence experienced.
And you were waiting there, swimming through apologies, sorry
Meeting the same person again, acknowledging apologies and expressing sorrow.
I remember searching for the perfect words
Revisiting the struggle to find the right words in a reflective manner.
I was hoping you might change your mind
Maintaining hope for a change in the other person's perspective or feelings.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Recalling a moment with a soldier, suggesting continued impact or influence.
Riding on the Metro
Reiteration of the theme of riding on the Metro as a metaphor for life's journey.
