Lyrics
I know that I don?t really know you, I only know that you
Ride the train in the morning, same time as I do
And I know each minor detail, of a pain that?s always there
Comes from living in the dream of sharing something that we can?t share
That?s all I know
Every corner of my heart is filled with images of you
In every empty space, pictures of the face
My hands will never know
And if you ever hear this song you won?t know that it?s for you
But each refrain will find me on the train
With nowhere to go
CHORUS
You and I
We?ve written songs? that you?ll never hear
We?ve built a fire? with warmth you?ll never know
We have a love? with strength you?ll never feel
Strong as steel
Too bad it?s not real, but it?s not real
Why your face has come to haunt me I?m sure I cannot say
I?ve known many lovely faces that don?t make me feel this way
I sometimes fight to take my mind back and I sometimes think I?ve won
But I?ll surrender to a hopeless dream when all is said and done
That?s all I know
Every corner of my mind is filled with images of you
In every dusty space, pictures of the face
My lips will never know
And if you ever hear this song you won?t even know it?s yours
But I?ll be on the train staring through the rain
Into eyes that won?t let go
