ALKALINE TRIO - The Metro



[Originally by Berlin]

I'm alone
Sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through appologies.

I remember searching for the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
Riding on the Metro.

You wore white,
Smiling as you took my hand.
br />So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Years have passed and still the hurt.
I can see you now
Smiling as you pulled away.

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
I remember a night we walked along the Sein
Riding on the Metro

I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro
