Red Scarf on the Platform

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I slide into the platform, rain on my jacket, The metro hums like a heartbeat in a pocket. Coffee in my palm, a paper trail of names, The world outside is gray, but I’ve got a dream to frame. [Pre‑Chorus] Faces blur, but one light catches my eye, A girl in a red scarf, she’s passing by. I think about the way she laughs, the way she moves, And wonder if her story has a groove that proves. [Chorus] Train lights flicker, city hum, We’re strangers on a rhythm that drags us home. I’m humming a tune that’s all mine to own, In the flicker, I find a place to roam. [Verse 2] The carriage shakes like a boat on a tide, I press my fingers to the glass, let the night slide. There’s a scent of oranges and the smell of rain, And a kid who’s drawing on a notebook, painting his own lane. [Pre‑Chorus] The music starts, the lights dim low, I close my eyes, the city’s glow. Every turn a new chance, every stop a new line, I’m writing verses in the rhythm of the time. [Chorus] Train lights flicker, city hum, We’re strangers on a rhythm that drags us home. I’m humming a tune that’s all mine to own, In the flicker, I find a place to roam. [Bridge] The train pulls into the station, the doors open wide, I step out onto the platform where the world’s wide-eyed. I see the girl in the red scarf, she’s gone to the beat, I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the concrete seat. [Verse 3] Back on the track, I keep the story in my head, A little piece of melody that’s not so dead. The night is quiet, but the train’s still humming, I’m riding through the city, feeling like I'm summoning. [Chorus] Train lights flicker, city hum, We’re strangers on a rhythm that drags us home. I’m humming a tune that’s all mine to own, In the flicker, I find a place to roam. [Outro] When the lights dim and the doors close, the world’s a song, I’m a passenger, a note in the city’s throng. I’ll keep humming till the sunrise comes, Train lights flicker, city hum.
