Lyrics
Train Wreck
music and lyrics by Hunt Sidway
They say that the light
at the end of the tunnel
is sometimes a train headed right your way
Well I never knew it could be that way
I?d always hoped that light was your smile
coming here to stay
chorus:
But you and I are like a train wreck
Heading towards each other fast
Loco motives barely in control and
Screamin? down the tracks
Some say that life is short
Got to live it fast
They say that love is never going to last
Friends tell me something better is waiting for me
?round the bend
I bet it?s not what they?re thinkin?
repeat chorus
In the sleepin? car
Wonderin? why we went that far
Wonderin? why we didn?t get off when we still could
Survivors in the dining car
How did we ever get this far
Why couldn?t we make it to the last stop?
Slingin? words together
like railroad ties beneath the tracks
I don?t know just what I?ve lost
I only know I?ve got to get it back
Help me please, baby
I can?t live without you no more
Seeing you again has put me
on the floor
You and I were like a train wreck
headin? towards each other fast
Loco motives barely in control
screamin? down the tracks
We loved too fast
forgave too slow
Why did I ever let you go?
Why did I ever let you go
on down the tracks?
down the tracks
down the tracks
