Runaway Train

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 couldn't keep
Promised myself i wouldnt weep
One more promise i couldn't keep


It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
Theres 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 (2x)


Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did i get so jaded?
Lifes mysteries seem 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


And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night
Earth and sky
Somehow i just dont believe it


Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like i should be getting somewhere
Somehow im neither here nor there (2x)


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 im 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
