Lyrics
So I'm standing at the station
Expressing the speaker's current location at a train station.
For trains that never show
Conveying disappointment about trains not arriving.
I could hear where you were coming from
Reflecting on the speaker's ability to sense your whereabouts.
and how was I to know
Expressing uncertainty about the events and lack of foresight.
It's so cold and lonely here
Describing the current environment as cold and isolating.
and it's miles from where we were
Emphasizing the distance from a previous location or relationship.
so I'm waiting for the last train
Waiting for the last train to arrive.
coming in
Anticipation of the impending arrival of the train.
Take me home on the last train
Expressing a desire to be taken home on the last train.
to the place I love so dear
Referring to a cherished place the speaker loves.
to my baby's arms
Yearning for the embrace of the speaker's romantic partner.
To my baby's smile
Desiring the comfort of the partner's smile.
A million miles from here
Highlighting a vast distance from the current location.
So I'm flicking through the pages
Engaging in a distraction by flipping through a magazine.
Of a womans magazine
Specifically, a magazine targeted at women.
Reading for the stories
Reading stories and possibly relating them to personal experiences.
sure that's where I've been
Expressing a sense of recognition or familiarity in the stories.
they say he was your love
Referring to a past love, with a suggestion that a new person has replaced the speaker.
The new guy always wins
Suggesting that the new person in a relationship tends to succeed.
So I'm waiting for the last train
Continuing the theme of waiting for the last train.
Coming in
Reiterating the anticipation of the train's arrival.
Take me home on the last train..
Repeating the desire to be taken home on the last train.
won't you take me take me home
Directly asking to be taken home on the last train.

Repeating the plea to be taken home on the last train.
Take me home on the last train
Reiterating the desire to be taken home on the last train.
it's so cold and lonely here
Repeating the description of the current cold and lonely state.
And it's miles from where we were
Emphasizing the distance from a past location or relationship.
Now I'm waiting for the last train
Reiterating the waiting for the last train.
Coming in
Again, anticipating the arrival of the last train.
Take me home on the last train
Repeating the desire to be taken home on the last train.
Take me home on the last train...
Reiterating the plea to be taken home on the last train.
won't you take me home
Directly appealing to be taken home.
(Take me home)
Repeating the plea to be taken home.

Repeating the appeal to be taken home.
(Take me home)
Final repetition of the plea to be taken home.
