Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Laura Santos was a normal girl studying at World Academy. She was living her life normally. She wanted to have some fun, rather than her ordinary school life and her ordinary friends, except her best friend, Basch Zwingli.
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
Basch Zwingli was also, a normal guy studying at World Academy. He wanted to be more adventurous. He was Laura's best friend.
They both were walking to a common train station, the one they used to go to school.
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
Soon, on the path to the train station, Basch found himself just standing outside a "sketchy" area. He noticed a girl with lively brown eyes and wavy dark brown hair walk up beside him. It was his best friend, Laura.
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on
"Hey, Laura," Basch said with a slight hint of happiness in his voice.
"Oh, Basch! I didn't expect you to be here, where are you going?" Laura asked.
"I'm going to the train station, but after that I don't quite know." he said.
"Well… I'll come with you."
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
They were on the train. Nostalgic environments were there to be shown. Basch squeezed Laura's hand, as her mind filled again with memories of them two, when they first met when they were freshmen.
"What am I supposed to do," Laura thought. "I'm new here, I don't know where I'm supposed to go, don't know how to act, I don't know anything about this place…" A blonde-haired figure emerged out of the dark. "Huh? But it's about… twenty minutes after time…"
"Hello, do you need any help? I'm new here too, I think you're in my class. I'm Basch Zwingli, what's your name?"
"Laura Santos…" she said with not much hesitation in her voice, and outstretched her hand.
Love confessions, love words, she wanted them to happen soon.
Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on
Basch, just like Laura, was a born hard worker. He had many memories, many with her, as that one day in winter when he grew to love her…
He was walking back to school, from his lunchtime job that he shared with Laura. Being from a country that was tropical and had no winter, she couldn't survive that long in it, even in various layers.
"B-Basch, can we um… s-stop for a while. I'm kinda… tired and c-cold…" asked Laura.
Being the kind, cool and permitting person he was, he stopped and let her sit on a bench on the bridge they were walking on.
"Thank you, Basch… You're really a good friend, but are you sure you're okay with just a coat on?"
"Yes, Laura… The weather is always intense back home in Switzerland. I'm sure I can do this," said Basch, he was sure.
"No!" the stubborn Filipino said. "Have my scarf, it's too cold for you."
"Laura, I don't-"
"Take it," she replied with a smile. Even though he didn't want to admit it, a red tinge spread across his face. Right before class time, he checked the mirror.
And he was as red as his shirt.
They were finally at their destination. They went out and sat down on a bridge, like the one they sat on in winter.
"Basch…" a sleepy Laura said. She was ready to admit.
"Yes?"
"I think I'm head over heels in love with you."
Basch blushed, but he wasn't surprised. He smiled. "I love you too."
Laura smiled and kissed him on the lips.
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
