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
Promise myself I wouldn't breathe
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
Lead myself astray
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like we 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 drowning in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
And everything is cold and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I
Just don't believe it (yeah, yeah)
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like we should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
I came back there laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
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 I'm neither here nor there
Runaway train never going back
Runaway train's heading up the track
Runaway train burning in my veins
Runaway but it all seems the same
(Runaway, runaway)
