[Verse] Packed in this metal cage, the city's pulse on my skin Whispers drip from cracked phones, strangers' stories worn thin Eyes glazed in the flicker of faded streetlamp lights Tired souls bouncing off walls in the dead of the night [Pre-Chorus] No one talks, just the hum of the rail Secrets weigh heavy in this crowded tale [Chorus] Riding the waves of the subway’s sigh Lost in the crush, but still we ride Eyes wide shut, yet see it all plain In this crowded car, we’re strangers again [Verse] Grimy windows fogged with the breath of the night Hushed confessions blend with the screech of the fight Every face a story, every glance a code In this tight little world, we all carry the load [Pre-Chorus] No one talks, just the hum of the rail Secrets weigh heavy in this crowded tale [Chorus] Riding the waves of the subway’s sigh Lost in the crush, but still we ride Eyes wide shut, yet see it all plain In this crowded car, we’re strangers again [Bridge] Metal heartbeat, city’s veins Bound by silence, none explain Yet in this mess, we find the thread Unseen connections, words unsaid [Chorus] Riding the waves of the subway’s sigh Lost in the crush, but still we ride Eyes wide shut, yet see it all plain In this crowded car, we’re strangers again [Outro] Pressed close, but worlds apart Still the train beats my city’s heart Strangers with secrets in every lane Together alone on this crowded train
