Lyrics
The last Overground train cuts the Tuesday quiet at 10:04.
On the balcony opposite, a man watches the woman he adores.
Steam from her mug ghosts the sodium orange air,
A fragile blueprint sketched and then not there.
[Chorus]
And this is the pattern before the fray,
The perfect weave of a single day.
A moment held, a breath suspended,
Knowing the ache for how this ended.

Holding a life in its amber glare.
A thousand small tensions, a delicate art,
This peace is a structure designed to fall apart.
[Outro]
(Music fades out completely... a 4-second pause of silence)
(A lone alto saxophone enters, sweet and mournful, over a simple fingerpicked guitar melody)
The mug is set down, leaving a warm ring.
The door slides shut on the unsaid thing.
