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.

(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.
