The Metro
Journey Through Love and Regret: The Metro's Emotional Tale
Lyrics
I'm alone sitting with my empty glass
I am alone, sitting with an empty glass.
My four walls follow me through my past
My past is constantly with me within the confines of my four walls.
I was on a Paris train
I recall being on a train in Paris.
I emerged in London rain
I arrived in London amid rain.
And you were waiting there
You were there, waiting for me.
Swimming through apologies
We navigate through apologies.
I remember searching for the perfect words
I remember the struggle to find the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind
I hoped you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
I remember a soldier sleeping beside me.
Riding on the Metro
Riding on the Metro.
I remember a feeling coming over me
I felt a powerful emotion washing over me.
The soldier turned, then looked away
The soldier turned away, avoiding eye contact.
I remember hating you for loving me
I resented you for loving me.
Riding on the Metro
Riding on the Metro.
You wore white smiling as you took my hand
You, dressed in white, smiled and took my hand.
So removed
There was emotional distance between us.
We talked about our time in France
We discussed our time in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words
Time passed with superficial conversations.
Years have passed and still the hurt
Years have passed, but the pain remains.
I can see you now smiling as I turned away
I can envision you smiling as I turned away.
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
I recall holding a wrinkled letter in my hand.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
The letter expressed enduring love and filled my eyes with emotion.
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
I remember a night we strolled along the Seine.
Riding on the Metro
Riding on the Metro.
