Trainwreck 49

He took it like he thought a man might

And shrugged, like he understood

Trying all through Trainwreck 49

Turn it up! 'Till you're floating through the wood

Wet hair falling 'round those eyes

Will tear at your mind if you let it

Hang that movie out to dry

If you're brown paper dreams will let you forget it

Telephone wire is a brittle line

Leaves silences that demand replies

Through Swansea and Belmont he pushed the floor

To catch her falling through the door



Drunk on trying to sleep it off

So you lean the car through every turn

Your chest is sunken beneath the cloth

Do you steel yourself for the icy burn?

The rain has made the tar all greasy

I know I should shy from this kind of deal

But I tell you my mind, it forgets how easy

Cold wet hands can slip off the wheel

You wait so long in a Newcastle night

For a lonely cab to pull out of sight

And you can wear out a hole in a hard wood room

Headed for goodbye, but you don't know how soon



But one day when you see me

When you hear my name more clearly

One day when you see me

You won't be seeing the one that you lost

On Trainwreck 49



He took it like he thought a man might

And shrugged, like he understood

Trying all through Trainwreck 49

Turn it up 'till you're floating through the wood
