Verse 1

Switch at Riverside, color on the rails,

Ticket in my teeth, coffee tipping scales.

Missed the seven‑oh‑nine—fine, I’ll improvise,

Reading the pulse in electric skies.

Pre‑Chorus

Every platform number opens like a door,

Every timetable redraws the shore.

Chorus

Four transfers tonight under sodium light,

Swap cars, swap plans, keep the horizon in sight.

If my heart keeps time, my feet won’t fall behind—

Four transfers tonight, and I’m doing just fine.

Verse 2

Turnstiles tap Morse code; strangers hum along,

Carry‑on confessions, one half‑finished song.

Names on departure boards, places I don’t know,

Motion makes a promise: I’ll learn as I go.

Pre‑Chorus

Every platform number opens like a door,

Every timetable redraws the shore.

Bridge

Viermal umsteigen, doch ich bleib’ unterwegs.

Back to the river line, back to the spark;

Even in the tunnel, I’m learning the dark.

Final Chorus

Four transfers tonight; when the doors divide,

I drop what I can’t carry and keep what survives.

City into city, I stitch them with stride—

Four transfers tonight, arriving inside.
