Lyrics
Intro – ambient synths, soft string pad
(female voice, soft)
(Ooh... ahh...)
(male voice 2, vocoder whisper)
Wait for me... jag väntar...
Verse 1 – male voice 1
The tracks are drawn but not yet laid,
We planned the route, but time betrayed.
Steel and gravel, hopes in dust,
Trying to build a rail of trust.
Verse 1 (Swedish) – female voice
Vi ritade en väg för två,
men spåren slutar utan bro.
All vår kraft, vår tro, vår plan,
fastnar här i obygd land.
(ahh... ahh...)
Pre-Chorus – male voice 1 + female voice, harmonized
We try (vi försöker), we fall (vi faller),
Still dreaming through the rise and fall...
Hook – female voice + male voice 1, in unison, supported by male voice 2 (vocoder harmonies)
Build the rail of us (uh-uh-uh),
So I can reach your heart tonight (tonight),
No more distance, no delay (no delay),
Låt vår kärlek få sin väg.
(Finish this... finish this...)
Rail of us... rail of us...
Verse 2 – female voice
Each hammer strike, a word unsaid,
We lift the weight of things we’ve said.
Stone by stone, we fight to see
A line that runs from you to me.
Verse 2 (English) – male voice 2
The mountain’s cold, the tunnel blind,
Still I believe we’ll realign.
No train, no bridge, no map to trust,
But something moves in both of us.
Pre-Chorus – male voice 1 + female voice
Vi försöker (försöker), vi faller (faller),
Men hjärtat drar oss närmare...
Hook – all voices, full instrumentation
Build the rail of us (rail of us!),
Across the fields of broken tries.
We’re not perfect, but we trust (we trust),
Den här kärleken är vår plats.
(Finish this... finish this...)
Rail of us... (rail of us, mm-mm)
Bridge – male voice 2 (vocoder) + female voice (soft harmony)
Från station till station,
vi letar en connection.
Hold the line, wait for me...
This journey sets us free...
Final Hook – all voices, full choir-style harmony
Build the rail of us (build it strong),
No delay can stop our song.
Love’s the engine, trust the track,
Vi ger inte upp, vi ser tillbaks.
(Finish this... finish this...)
Rail of us... rail of us... rail of us...
Outro – fading synths, heartbeat rhythm
(female voice, whisper)
Jag väntar...
(male voice 2, vocoder)
Still building...
