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 couldn't even sleep
So many secrets i couldn't keep
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 lead myself astray
Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way 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 mysteries seem so faded
I can go where noone 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 seems cut and dry
Day and night
Earth and sky
Somehow i just don't believe it
Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way 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
Little out of touch, little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train, never goin' 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 comin' back
Runaway train, tearin' up the track
Runaway train, burnin' in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same
