I could never promise I won't let you down.
I won't give my word, you won't get hurt.
But, look at the stars, they don't always shine so bright.
They're above us now, they're above us night after night.
Look at my hands now. They look so empty without yours.
Emotions are footprints in the rain, but my heart pounds like a...

Carving stone and rock without retreat in a campaign of war.
Consider my eyes now, bluer than this persistent army.
Emotions are footprints in the rain, but my heart pounds like a...
(Chorus)
Train wreck, the subway's on fire.
I'll do my best to save what I save.

(Chorus)
Train wreck, the subway's on fire.
I'll do my best to save what I save.
Smoke or ash, we're never looking back.
As strong as I can, I'll stay on the track.
