Flutter

Verse I

On a night train

Staring through my reflection

at the edge of the world

I see meadows that I can't describe

A mystery of pieces missing

Lost within myself

Weightless

and heavy all the same

Our lives are measured with dust

Vacant and cold

In a dream that won't end

I've been hoping for a moment

just a touch of a hand

to feel my heart

flutter again

Verse II

On a night train

Thinking about the brevity

of how we connect

Time becomes art

we express until the curtain calls

in camera-eye we live on

I was too scared

and too ashamed to be the one

to prove I was here

Inside the void of my faults

I found safe place to breathe

But still I lost

No matter the distance

there's always a stranger

to prove you were loved

I fell astray for so long

and I still found a friend

Who made my heart

flutter again

Verse III

On a night train

under stars as white as flowers

at the end of the world

With so many people

Pained by death beyond our speaking

in the silent throes

Some people sparked love

While some were never able to attain it

Yet here we are

In my reflection I see

the story told of the ones

I've left behind

In a home far away

You’re waiting for me

to walk through the door

But I’m still here

Time becomes art

and the moments are music

we remember on

Please remember our song

and I thank you again

Now I can find

my stop
