On the midnight train, only love's in my way Picture-perfect world, crop me out of the frame And though it's not to say things will never change I'm afraid, this time, it'd take an act of fate On the midnight train, dopamine in my brain Special K, full tank, give to Sol my thanks And though it's not your thing, I don't hesitate I'm afraid, this time, it'll be too late How could I trust myself? Running right off of the rails How could I break the spell? Up this high, the ride prevails On the midnight train, fire and ice in my veins Pretty name, new flame, pretty out of my lane And though it don't equate, I am lost by grace I'm afraid, this time, things will be too grave How could I trust myself? Running right off of the rails How could I break the spell? Up this high, the ride prevails (I need you to show up, I can't slow the ride) I can't slow up, I need you to show up I can't slow up, I need you to show up I can't slow up, I need you to show up I can't slow the ride (I can't slow up, I need you to show up) How could I trust myself? (I can't slow up, I need you to show up) Running right off of the rails (I can't slow up, I need you to show up) How could I break the spell? (I can't slow up, I need you to show up) Up and down, the ride (I can't slow the ride)
