"Runaway Train" lyrics

How long was I sleeping
Did you wake me
It didn't feel like that long
Nowadays I just sleep in
Life is different
Thought I'd never get old
Sometimes I just miss it
Being wreckless
We were indestructible
Who knew that time would slip away from us

At twenty something young
We had it all figured out
Its different now
Got so much more to think about
Why can't it still be the same
Can't stop this runaway train
The memories are all we have
Framed in our minds like photographs
So why can't it still be the same
Can't stop this runaway train
Runaway train

A world we were on top of
Had the promise
That we would reach our dreams
Who knew that in time
They would slip away from us
We young and brave and free
Young and brave and FREE

At twenty something young
We had it all figured out
Its different now
Got so much more to think about
Why can't it still be the same
Can't stop this runaway train
The memories are all we have
Framed in our minds like photographs
So why can't it still be the same
Can't stop this runaway train
Runaway train

How long was I sleeping
Did you wake me
It didn't feel that long
Who knew that in time
Would slip away from us
And our youth go up in smoke
Youth go up in smoke

At twenty something young
We had it all figured out
Its different now
Got so much more to think about
Why can't it still be the same
Can't stop this runaway train
The memories are all we have
Framed in our minds like photographs
So why can't it still be the same
Can't stop this runaway train
Runaway train
