Really needs a better title than that, but it's too late now. Initially it was called 'This Is A Song About A Person On A Train' but there's such a thing as going too far. This song is the only time my glockenspiel features.

lyrics

The most pretty human being
In the city was just sitting
Next to me on the train today.

And I stared at them so long
I thought there must be something wrong
within the world for me to not get them today

And my silent pleas to God
For them to not get off the train
When next it stopped were quickly dropped
For wishing they'd get on again,
The doors would close upon my heart,
And then the train would start to start
Upon its way.

And sitting on the train
I knew I'd never see my love again.

The most pretty human being in the world
Had left the train a while ago
And with their headphones on
They'd never hear me say 'what's wrong
Is that we're not together you and me',
Although I said it silently,

And I wish there'd been delays
While we were still within the city
So that I'd have had more time
Admiring everything that's pretty about you,
Even though you wouldn't want me to.

Even though you wouldn't want me to.
