Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a slow torch burning Was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't eat or sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep I promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now, I'm in too deep there's no way out This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train, never going back Runaway on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded? Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train
And everything is cut and dry, Day and night, earth and sky, Somehow I just don't believe it
Runaway train, never going back Runaway on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain A little out of touch, a little insane Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train, never going back Runaway on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Runaway train, never coming back Runaway train, tearing up the tracks Runaway train, burning in my veins I run away but it always seems the same
