You look so happy upon that train
Just strangers two minutes ago
Now they're laughing and sharin' a joke
There's nothin' 'bout each other that they don't know

They're so good lookin' and they're both young, too
Looks like we've got ourselves

A meet cute, it's impossibly cute
Aren't you up for them? Don't you wish you were them?
A meet cute, it's disgustingly cute
Let's hope that nothing gets in their way
They're just strangers on a train
They're just strangers on a train

Over tea and coffee, biscuits and beer
They try to make sense of it all
The world is scary and ugly out there
And she's gettin' even more beautiful

I bet he's thinkin' that he's met his match
Now we've definitely got ourselves

A meet cute, it's impossibly cute
Aren't you up for them? Don't you wish you were them?
A meet cute, it's heartbreakingly cute
They may not see each other again
They're just strangers on a train, yeah
Strangers on a train

They're so good lookin' and they're both young, too
Now we're pullin' into the station and we seriously got ourselves

A meet cute, it's impossibly cute
Aren't you up for them? Don't you wish you were them?
A meet cute, it's disgustingly cute
Let's hope that nothing gets in their way
They're just strangers on a train, yeah
They're just strangers on a train
Life leaves them alone, yeah
They're just strangers on a train
