[Verse 1]
The train's gone, and I am standing alone
I think of you, we wonder if you think of me, too?
I'm back to the town that I was born in
To think of my life and to start it over with you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cuz you know we've been in a maze of love
And we are losing control to get away
Here I am walking on the hill in this town
Like in the childhood that seems like yesterday
[Chorus]
If You Were Here with me,
You could feel the way I do now
If You Were Here with me,
You could see what I am looking for, now
[Verse 2]
I need to come to the hill on my own
When I feel lonely, dreaming of the future to come
The feel of the wind makes me understand
That I will have to face the problem, to overcome
