The brief

For Nina, my girlfriend. I deliberately missed my train stop on our first date because I wanted to keep talking. She knew. A year later she is moving in, and ‘one more stop’ is still our joke. Make it playful and romantic.

The title starts as an excuse to stay on a train. By the final chorus, ‘one more morning’ brings the same feeling into their new home. The story moves forward without needing a list of dates.

What would you put in yours?

Remember the point when a date stopped feeling like a date: you missed a turn, forgot the time or ordered another coffee. Keep the words you actually said to each other.

Use the level of affection that sounds like you. A new relationship can have a proper love song without marriage promises or grand declarations you would never say out loud.

The first listen

Send the reveal link with a photo from the date or somewhere you go together. If the story is private, let her have the first listen to herself before you share it with anyone else.

Lyrics

You drew a smile on the window With the sleeve around your hand Asked me what I did on Sundays I forgot the answer then My station slipped behind us You could tell it from my face You said, "Was that your stop?" I said, "It can wait"

You moved your bag and let me in The doors closed up again

One more stop, Nina We can turn back then Let me hear the ending Let me see that smile again One more story With your shoulder next to mine If you're staying on I've got time

We rode out past the warehouses Till the driver changed the ends You were halfway through a story So we paid to ride again Now your boxes crowd my hallway There's a lamp I've got to fix You say, "That's nearly everything" I say, "What else can you fit?"

You put your coat beside my coat I think you already know

One more stop, Nina We can turn back then Let me hear the ending Let me see that smile again One more story With your shoulder next to mine If you're staying on I've got time

I'd rehearsed a clever sentence All the way to meeting you But you caught me staring at you And I told you what was true I wasn't lost that evening I just didn't want to leave You smiled and said, "I know" Then you leaned your head on me

One more stop, Nina We can turn back then Let me hear the ending Let me see that smile again One more morning With your pillow next to mine If you're staying on I've got time

No, I wasn't lost that evening I just didn't want to leave
