About Midnight Train

In an interview with Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1 Nick introduced Sam by saying that “the vibes around Sam have definitely changed,” and Sam agreed. They explained that, unlike ‘In the Lonely Hour’ which was largely about a one-sided love affair, this album is a tribute to the family and friends who have supported them over the years, focusing on ‘their lives — their ups and downs’, rather than their own. This song is not about Sam but a friend or family member who decided, with sadness, to end a relationship. .

Midnight Train Lyrics

[00:22.82] I choose me, and I know that's selfish, love
[00:27.90] You are a dream, and I can't thank you enough
[00:33.23] But I give another piece of me away
[00:37.85] Every waking day that I'm with you
[00:42.90] Am I a monster?
[00:45.22] What will your family think of me?
[00:48.12] They brought me in
[00:50.15] They helped me out with everything
[00:53.22] But I give a little piece of me away
[00:57.86] Every single day
[01:02.40] So I pick up the pieces
[01:05.19] I get on the midnight train
[01:07.95] I got my reasons
[01:10.19] But darling I can't explain
[01:13.40] I'll always love you
[01:16.85] But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
[01:23.04] Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
[01:27.94] Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
[01:33.95]
[01:42.84] Love you so much that I have to let you go
[01:48.14] I'll miss your touch and the secrets we both know
[01:53.38] But it would be wrong for me to stay
[01:57.94] And I'll just give you hope
[02:02.81] So I pick up the pieces
[02:05.38] I get on the midnight train
[02:08.02] I got my reasons
[02:10.42] But darling I can't explain
[02:13.34] I'll always love you
[02:16.86] But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
[02:23.07] I can't stop crying
[02:25.40] I hate that I've caused you pain
[02:28.08] But I can't deny it
[02:30.23] I just don't feel the same
[02:33.73] I'll always love you
[02:36.98] But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
[02:43.19] Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
[02:48.00] Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
[02:54.31]
[03:02.50] So I pick up the pieces
[03:05.36] Get on the midnight train
[03:08.13] I got my reasons
[03:10.57] But darling I can't explain
[03:13.92] I'll always love you
[03:17.15] But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
[03:24.36]
