Trainwreck
Vanity Theft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Formalities put me to sleep
Don't make me take this nice and slow
I wanna know what they don't know
I wanna take a secret
And try real hard to keep it
I'll take a bad habit to adopt and not adapt it
I wanna see you disheveled
(I wanna see you disheveled)
I wanna know how your train wrecks
There was no prevention
To see you through a different lens
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
Saw you in a dirty shirt
I caught you doing dirty work
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
Learned of your intentions
And realized what you really meant
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
This may be unnatural
I saw you with another girl
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
I kinda liked it
We stripped it all down to the boen
Your skeletons are not alone
I let them out to roam and they met mine
I think they danced all night
I'll dig the dirt from the back of your head
And hide it in my fingernails instead
I wanna take a secret
And try real hard to keep it
I'll take a bad habit to adopt and not adapt it
I wanna see you disheveled
(I wanna see you disheveled)
I wanna know how your train wrecks
(How your train wrecks)
There was no prevention
To see you through a different lens
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
Saw you in a dirty shirt
I caught you doing dirty work
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
Learned of your intentions
And realized what you really meant
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
This may be unnatural
I saw you with another girl
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
Let no context be misread
Say things that are better left unsaid
Forego the foreplay and the bed
Ooh, baby please don't make me beg
Don't make me beg
There was no prevention
To see you through a different lens
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
Saw you in a dirty shirt
I caught you doing dirty work
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
Learned of your intentions
And realized what you really meant
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
This may be unnatural
I saw you with another girl
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
Ooh, I kinda liked it
I couldn't fight it, I couldn't fight it
(Ooh, I kinda liked it)
Ooh, I couldn't fight it, I kinda liked it
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)

Pretend you haven't just met me
Ignore the formalities and try to get to know me quickly
Formalities put me to sleep
I want to skip the small talk and get down to the real stuff
Don't make me take this nice and slow
I don't want you to take your time and miss out on anything
I wanna know what they don't know
I want to find out your secrets and see the real you
I wanna take a secret
I want to discover and keep your secrets
And try real hard to keep it
I want to keep your secrets safe and hidden
I'll take a bad habit to adopt and not adapt it
I'll take on your bad habits and pretend they are mine
I wanna see you disheveled
I want to see you let go and lose control
(I wanna see you disheveled)
I want to see the real you, not just the put-together version
I wanna know how your train wrecks
I want to know the things that you hide, the parts of you that are messy
There was no prevention
There was no stopping this from happening
To see you through a different lens
To see you in a new light, from a different perspective
(Ooh, I couldn't fight it)
I couldn't resist the temptation
Ooh, I kinda liked it
I enjoyed it, even though it was wrong
Saw you in a dirty shirt
Saw you in your natural state, not trying to impress anyone
I caught you doing dirty work
I caught you doing something that others might judge you for
Learned of your intentions
I found out what you really wanted
And realized what you really meant
I understood your true desires
This may be unnatural
This connection may not be accepted or normal
I saw you with another girl
I saw you with someone else, and it hurt me
Let no context be misread
Let there be no confusion about what we are doing
Say things that are better left unsaid
Let's be honest, even if it's uncomfortable
Forego the foreplay and the bed
Let's skip the romantic gestures and get straight to the point
Ooh, baby please don't make me beg
Please don't make me ask for what I want, just give it to me
I couldn't fight it, I kinda liked it
I couldn't resist my attraction to you, even though it was wrong

@VanityTheft
Hey, guys. Thanks for all the support! About the Lalaine comments, they become hidden when they receive too many negative notes, however it is NOT something that we (the page administrators) have anything to do with. And to all those who still haven't heard, Lalaine did a few tours with us in 2010 but hasn't been with VT since last year. Keep the views coming, guys! Thanks for watching. Vanity Theft
@xXMrsScarlettXx
Your music is awesome!
@Spironic
Love this song, video is great! Really fantastic stuff!
To whoever did the editing though, the flashy transitions feel forced and awkward because they're not synced with the music at all, this makes a world of difference.
@nelgil22
Wonderful just like your other songs! :D
@mongmongienim
