“Cab” is the lead single from Train’s fourth studio album, For Me, It’s You. The song was inspired by the emotions he felt after his divorce:
When I was writing the lyrics to ‘Cab’ it was the winter and I was staying at this place in Pennsylvania, looking out the window and just being really lonely...
[Verse 1]
New York snow this time of year
There's nothing more beautiful to me
Except for you
Making my way uptown and down
Seeing familiar places and faces
In my pile of coffee grounds
[Chorus]
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
[Verse 2]
Watching my breath rise in the sun
Pulling myself in to make warm
Hopelessly feel for my phone and drive away
This new rhythm I pursue
Is just my getting over you
Telling myself that I need to
[Chorus]
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
[Bridge]
I'm still looking for a fare
No one said that it was fair
To be alone
[Chorus]
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
