I Met You on a Platform

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You had a paper cup and a faded blue coat One earbud in, reading something you wrote I was watching the board flip from late to on time Then you smiled like the whole place had given us time [Pre-Chorus] A train rolled in, you let the crowd go by Said, “Guess we’re both headed the same way tonight” [Chorus] I met you on a platform, under station signs Two strangers with a little borrowed time Now every road I take keeps leading to your door And I don’t want to wonder what we’re waiting for You’re the hand I reach for when the days run long The name that feels like home in every little song I met you on a platform, and I knew somewhere inside You’re the man I want to call mine for all my life [Verse 2] You remember how I take my coffee now And leave the window cracked when the rain comes down We make Sunday plans with a grocery list And somehow even errands feel like this [Pre-Chorus] That old station’s still there, same clock, same track But I’d take every mile just to find you back [Chorus] I met you on a platform, under station signs Two strangers with a little borrowed time Now every road I take keeps leading to your door And I don’t want to wonder what we’re waiting for You’re the hand I reach for when the days run long The name that feels like home in every little song I met you on a platform, and I knew somewhere inside You’re the man I want to call mine for all my life [Bridge] If the years move fast and the plans all change If the tickets fade and we forget that day I’ll still be right here, choosing you again Like the first small hello before the train came in [Final Chorus] I met you on a platform, under station signs Two strangers, now a lifetime side by side Every road I take keeps leading to your door And I don’t need to wonder what I’m waiting for You’re the hand I reach for when the days run long The name that feels like home in every little song I met you on a platform, and I know it deep inside You’re the man I want to call mine for all my life [Outro] Same old platform, years from that night Still choosing you, still calling you mine
