Hopeful

(Verse 1)

The 6:15 pulls into the station's hum,

Another day is done, feeling numb.

Then she walks in, a light in the gray,

Same seat, same time, every day.

Holding a book, a coffee in hand,

A silent story I long to understand.

(Chorus)

Train girl, train girl, across the aisle,

A hopeful flicker, a hesitant smile.

Is this more than just a fleeting glance?

A fragile maybe, a second chance?

Train girl, train girl, what do you see?

Could you ever fall in love with me?

(Verse 2)

The city lights blur in the window pane,

We steal glances, again and again.

A silent language, unspoken words,

A symphony played by restless birds.

Tonight she looks up, our eyes finally meet,

A spark ignites, bittersweet.

(Chorus)

Train girl, train girl, across the aisle,

A hopeful flicker, a hesitant smile.

Is this more than just a fleeting glance?

A fragile maybe, a second chance?

Train girl, train girl, what do you see?

Could you ever fall in love with me?

(Bridge)

Then she speaks, two words, soft and low,

A gentle ripple, a hopeful flow.

"Hello there.", a whisper in the air,

An invitation, a whispered prayer.

(Chorus)

Train girl, train girl, across the aisle,

A hopeful flicker, a hesitant smile.

Is this more than just a fleeting glance?

A fragile maybe, a second chance?

Train girl, train girl, what do you see?

Could you ever fall in love with me?

(Outro)

The train slows down, her stop is near,

A promise lingers, banishing fear.

Train girl, train girl, until tomorrow,

Maybe this longing will end in joy and not sorrow.
