A man with a good tooth
Was waiting on the train at the same stop that I was
I couldn't tell who wanted to talk less-me or him
He wrote in a notebook
Filled pages as he sat without even looking up
And on the cover he'd wrote "pictures of me and you"

After the third delay
Grew a smile on his face
Squared his shoulders across the bench
And so I did the same
Shared a laugh and our names
I asked about what the notebook meant

Said I can picture (yeah I can picture) just where I was
When all the brushstrokes
Would contour in the same way, the same way
I had a fresh coat, a clean start
But I knew it'd fall apart like it always does
I keep the portraits, they come with me when I go

The sun set on south bank
Now he's digging for a flask
Buried in his overcoat or maybe in a duffel bag
With someone's name etched on either side
Poured a little on the bricks
Then he offers it to me
I pretended not to hear and told a story about you
Cuz all my best ones are
