Berlin - The Metro (Official Video)
From the channel of Guillermo Soto.
I heard this song tonight, believe it or not, for the first time. Also, I heard it at Walmart. They were playing it when we entered into the store. This song has been covered many times, including by System Of A Down. I prefer Berlin's version.
"[The Metro] is a New Wave song written by John Crawford for his band, Berlin. The song has been covered by a number of artists, including System of a Down, Alkaline Trio, John Frusciante, Hannah Fury and Idle Warship."
Lyrics:
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 apologies
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
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 seine
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
