Runaway Train Lyrics by Brandon Boyd

The Wild Trapeze

2010

Presently
The future is in the middle of a love triangle
With calamity
And me in the corner I'm starting to feel uncomfortable

Should I douse the spark or fan the flames
Or merely think of clever things to say?
Oh, the more I try to separate
The better it feels to get right in the way

[Chorus]
And I try so hard to get out of the way
Of that runaway train
Oh, how I do love the rain
Oh

Seems to be
That being in the middle is starting to get me in trouble
I tried to run away
But they have a talent for making trouble seem enjoyable

Oh, the more I try to separate
The better it feels to get right in the way
Should I douse the spark or fan the flames
Or merely think of clever things to say?

[Chorus]
And I try so hard to get out of the way
Of that runaway train
Oh, how I do love the rain
Oh

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Runaway train
Runaway train
Runaway train
Oh

[Chorus]
And I try so hard to get out of the way
Of that runaway train
Oh, how I do love the rain
Oh

Runaway train
Runaway train
Runaway train
