(Verse 1)
Waiting for the train to arrive, the city's noise a distant sound.
She stood there like a ghost I knew, on familiar, hallowed ground.
Her killer blue eyes locked on mine, and in that gaze I saw the past,
The same eyes I'd chased as a kid, a memory made to last.
(Chorus)
Those killer eyes, I'd know them anywhere,
A story whispered on the small-town air.
We forgot the train, we let the world go by,
In the blue of your eyes, I saw my reason why.
(Verse 2)
She came close and spoke my name, like we'd never been apart.
She talked of our small-town world, a key to unlock my heart.
The train pulled in and pulled away, we let it go without a glance,
We stood there lost in yesterday, a forgotten second chance.
(Chorus)
Those killer eyes, I'd know them anywhere,
A story whispered on the small-town air.
We forgot the train, we let the world go by,
In the blue of your eyes, I saw my reason why.
(Verse 3)
The next train pulls in, a different track, a new direction in her eyes.
She looks at me and smiles, a question in disguise.
"That train," she says, "goes where we started, back to the town we used to know."
We didn't need to say a word, we just knew we had to go.
(Outro)
We’re on that train, the city's gone, the lights are fading far behind.
Her killer eyes are soft now, a future I'm about to find.
Hand in hand, heading home, to the place where it all began,
Me and the girl with the killer eyes, together again.
