Graffiti on the Train Lyrics
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh the graffiti on the train oh no
Rolled into her life
Oh the graffiti on the train oh
Stepped outside he left his lover sleeping
Rain falls he's drowning in his secret
Wet streets are quiet as a church hall
Last house where children kick the football
Crossroads his heart is beating faster
Getting close to asking her the question
"Marry me" he wants to paint the words on
The night train he's hiding with his spray cans
Tonight he's going to ride
When the paint is done and dried oh come on
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh she will never be the same oh no
Rolled into her life
Oh the graffiti on the train oh
Day breaks his lover yawns and wakes up
Sips her cup and dusts her face in make up
Platform she hears the people whisper
Someone died they surfed the train and slipped up
Train comes the coach she's always used to
The doors read "Marry me I love you"
Heart stops ecstatic and suspicious
She makes the call but he don't pick the phone up
The train sped down the line
It was the last train he would ride oh no
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh she will never be the same oh no
Rolled into her life
Oh the graffiti on the train oh
Oh the graffiti on the train oh no
Rolled into her life
Oh the graffiti on the train oh
Rain falls he's drowning in his secret
Wet streets are quiet as a church hall
Last house where children kick the football
Getting close to asking her the question
"Marry me" he wants to paint the words on
The night train he's hiding with his spray cans
Tonight he's going to ride
When the paint is done and dried oh come on
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh she will never be the same oh no
Rolled into her life
Oh the graffiti on the train oh
Sips her cup and dusts her face in make up
Platform she hears the people whisper
Someone died they surfed the train and slipped up
The doors read "Marry me I love you"
Heart stops ecstatic and suspicious
She makes the call but he don't pick the phone up
The train sped down the line
It was the last train he would ride oh no
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh the graffiti on the train
Oh she will never be the same oh no
Rolled into her life
Oh the graffiti on the train oh

I'm just gonna put this here, least this song deserves.
The song is about a guy who's about to propose to his girlfriend. His idea is to spray the words "marry me i love you" on the train his girlfriend rides daily, so he sneaks out at night to do so. He sprays the words on the door of the train, but he falls and he died. The morning comes and his girlfriend follows her routine of riding the train, not knowing he's dead. Someone tells her about a guy that slipped under the train and died, and when the train comes she reads the words "marry me i love you" and is suspicious the man that died might've been her boyfriend. So she calls him, and he doesn't pick up. That's basically when she realizes he's the guy that slipped under the train
