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 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 led myself astray



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



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



Everything is cut and dry

Day and night, earth and sky

Somehow I just don't believe it



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



Bought 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 pain



Wrong way on a one way track

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there



Runaway train tearin' up the track

Runaway train burnin' in my veins

Runaway but it always seems the same
