After The Last Train

[Verse 1] You brushed the cinder from my eye The station lights were low I had a ring, you had a match And both of us should’ve let go The clock kept time above our heads The shadows kept the rest You asked me for a cigarette I handed you my best [Pre-Chorus] No one said forever No one said don’t start But rain can write a sentence On a reckless heart [Chorus] After the last train leaves the dark Who do we belong to? Just two silhouettes in smoke Trying to make a lie come true In this black-and-white town Love don’t come clean It walks in wearing evening gloves And leaves before it’s seen [Verse 2] The cafe cups were chipped and warm The jukebox whispered low We spoke like people playing cards Afraid to let the whole hand show You laughed and said we’re innocent That line still makes me smile The guilty always say that first And stay a little while [Bridge] Morning writes in harder light What midnight lets us hide A name in lipstick on a glass A conscience with no alibi I should have turned, you should have too But hearts don’t learn that way They choose the door with danger in it And call it fate... or stay [Final Chorus] After the last train leaves the dark I still hear your footsteps Two lost souls in overcoats Living on borrowed regrets In this black-and-white town Kisses burn like clues And every time the city rains It falls in shades of you
