Runaway Train
Chasing Truth on a Runaway Train
Lyrics
Runnin' to Boston, heart on my sleeve
Running towards Boston with emotions exposed
Two hundred bodies is all I need
Desiring a modest number of people around
These boys are hungry and a little vain
Young men are eager yet somewhat self-centered
The truth is a runaway train
The reality is uncontrollable and hard to manage
Flew down to airy California sun
Traveled swiftly to sunny California
So many people tryna be someone
Many individuals striving for recognition
Michelle Obama, you know my name
Referencing Michelle Obama, acknowledging personal identity
The truth is a runaway train
The truth is elusive and difficult to contain
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
Metaphorical description of an uncontrollable situation
The truth is a runaway train
The reality is hard to control
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
Reiteration of the chaotic nature of truth
The truth is a runaway train
Stating the uncontrollable aspect of reality
From California flew down to Rome
Traveling from California to Rome
Feels like the whole world is my home
Feeling at home everywhere in the world
I miss your laughter, I miss the rain
Missing joyful moments and nostalgic about past experiences
The truth is a runaway train
Truth is uncontrollable and escapes
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
Describing an uncontrollable truth again
The truth is a runaway train
Reiteration of the uncontrollable nature of truth
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
Emphasizing the elusive nature of truth
The truth is a runaway train
Truth being uncontrollable and difficult to manage
Even when you're innocent, all the leaves the same
Even when innocent, everyone faces the same outcome
And all those judges are Shakespearean in shame
Judges are akin to Shakespearean characters in their shamefulness
And you know I loved you as I loved you then
Expressing past affection
When you were the image of an angel
Recalling a past image of purity and innocence
Oh oh
Expressing an emotional sound
Runaway train, come on now
Encouraging the runaway train metaphor
Hey oh
Calling out to the runaway train
Runaway train
Repetition of the plea to the runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train, ah
Emphasizing the uncontrollable nature of truth again
The truth is a runaway train
Reiteration of the elusive truth
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
Stating the uncontrollable nature of truth
The truth is a runaway train
Repeating the idea of the elusive truth
It's a runaway train, yeah oh
Emphasizing the uncontrollable nature of the runaway train
Runaway train
Calling out to the runaway train again
Ooh
Expressing the uncontrollable nature of the situation
It's a runaway train
Reiteration of the uncontrollable runaway train metaphor
