Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burning I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldnt even sleep So many secrets I couldnt keep I promised myself I wouldnt weep One more promise I couldnt keep
It seems no one can help me now, Im in too deep; theres no way out This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow Im 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? Lifes mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just a-drownin in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train
And everything seems cut and dried, Day and night, earth and sky, Somehow I just dont believe it
Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow Im 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 Its just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow Im neither here nor there
Runaway train, never coming back Runaway train, tearing up the track Runaway train, burning in my veins I run away but it always seems the same
