On the Train Lyrics

Today, Today
I was on the train today
And I was looking at you
Looking, Looking, Looking.
Today (I was on the)
And I was looking at you
Looking (oh)
I was on the train today (looking)
And I was looking at me (today) looking at you (oh)
Lokking at you I was looking at you. Today. Today Today I was on the train to day. I was on the train today and I was looking at you looking at me.

I was...
You were
She looked at me
At me (at me) At me. (
I was on the train today)
Ahhhhhh
I was on the train today.
Ahhhh
And I was looking at me (Oh)
And i was on the train today (you were)
And you were looking at me
(she looked at me, at me)
You were looking at me.
(At me)
On the train, on the train
And you were looking at me
I was on the train today and I was looking at
(I was on the train today)
And I was looking at me at me meee
I was on the train today.
(And i was looking...)
And I was looking at me
Looking at you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
