Meaning: Trainwreck is trying to depict a real life relationship, without all of Hollywood's elaborations (especially from the emotional rollercoaster perspective). The basic message is that love is a choice and being perfect is not the objective, but being faithful is - just as faithful as the stars and waves of God's creation. However, due to the obstacles and chaos everyday life throws at the relationship, it might, at times, appear more as a train wreck in progress. In spite of this, the difficulties will be managed and the ultimate goal of faithfulness and oneness is possible. And, yes, I know that trainwreck is actually two words. I wanted to portray it less of a train that has gone off track and more of a continuing process of doing the best I can.
Lyrics:
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...
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.
I don't always convey exactly the right words.
Sometimes, my tongue is sharp and I yield it like a sword.
But, do you see the waves? Crashing relentlessly on the shore.
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...
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
I'm coming, for you, I swear it's true, I'll let, it stand like a monument, think of me, when you see it, This train, will be on time. The engine is empty, but who needs coal, Trust me, I can't be everything, I'll be here, pounding like a..
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

I really like this song. Quite a lot. I think it's my current favorite song.
A Rotterdam November is AMAZING, and you should check them out. The story behind their name is really cool too.
