I saw you at the railway station
But you didn’t notice though
I could see you waiting
Packed up, ready to go
You were on the Southbound platform
I was getting off a Northbound train
Looking at a phone for comfort
Some things never change
How long ago it was that we were sitting touching feet
Beneath a crossword cluttered table, heading somewhere

Listen, we were always meant to be magnolia
Listen, you and me were meant to be magnolia
We wilt, we bloom, leaves fall too soon
We were always gonna be magnolia

We said we’d never grow up
But it happened anyway
And now I’m thinking
Is it really such an awful shame?
But I’m a discontented
Dunno what I want to be
Are we ever meant to know that?
Are we ever meant to see
Each other in these bodies growing older by the hour
I’d rather die than let you see me in my work clothes
