Lyrics November - Anja Kotar

Afternoon on a train
I only took it because it started to rain
Afternoon in the fall
This weather always makes me think about it all

The woman across me
She's wearing a trench coat
A bouquet of roses
I wonder what they're for
A candlelit dinner
A date in the park
A night at the theatre
Or love in the dark

I don't know where she's going
I don't even know her name
I don't know if her life has been
A breeze or hurricane
I don't know if he loves her
Or if loving him is pain
But I do know that our fates have intertwined
For a moment on a train

Almost at the downtown stop
I'm already late but I don't want to get up
Outside the city's painted gray
But in here a vivid world is on display

The man behind me
He carries a suitcase
A custom cut suit
But shadows on his face
Was it just a bad day
Will he laugh when he gets home
Or did it all go astray
And now he sleeps alone
I don't know where he's going
I don't even know his name
I don't know if his life has been
A breeze or hurricane
I don't know if he's happy
Or if all he knows is pain
But I do know that our fates have intertwined
For a moment on a train

How many timelines
Collide inside these walls?
How many good times
And tear-soaked phone calls?

Decades of living
A multi-verse ballet
But the Earth just keeps spinning
And tomorrow all of these seats will be filled with new faces anyway

They won't know where I'm going
They won't even know my name
They won't know if my life has been
A breeze or hurricane
They won't that I sit here
Writing verses of their pain
But they will know that our fates have intertwined
For a moment on a train
