Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turningSo 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 keepIt seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astrayRunaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor thereCan 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 fadedI 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 trainEverything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe itRunaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor thereBought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the painRunaway train never comin' back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor thereRunaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
