Same city, different sky

Morning rain on the sleeping town, She takes the subway underground. A paper ticket in her hand, Dreams of a stage she’ll never stand. Crowded train, the city hums, Lights go dark, the rhythm drums. She closes her eyes, her thoughts take flight, To someone shining far from sight. Same city, different sky, Two hearts that pass each other by. The closer they seem to be, The further they drift like tides at sea. He sits alone where echoes fade, The fame he wanted now feels strange. A thousand lights, but none feel true, He dreams of faces he once knew. Her world is small, his stage is wide, But loneliness walks on either side. The stars above, they never know, The ones below who love them so. Same city, different sky, Two hearts that pass each other by. The closer they seem to be, The further they drift like tides at sea. Final Chorus (soft, fading) Same city, different sky, Dreams and trains keep rolling by. Some roads will never cross, I know — ‘Cause stars don’t ride the metro.
