Call you up in the middle of the nightLike a firefly without a lightYou were there like a blowtorch burnin'I was a key that could use a little turnin'
So tired that I couldn't even sleepSo many secrets I couldn't keepPromised myself I wouldn't weepOne more promise, I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me nowI'm in too deep, there's no way outThis time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train, never goin' backWrong way, on a one way trackSeems like I should be gettin' somewhereSomehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smileMake it somehow all seem worthwhileHow on Earth did I get so jadedLife's history seems so faded
I can go where no one else can goI know what no one else knowsHere I am just a drownin' in the rainWith a ticket for a runaway train
And everything seems cut and dryDay and night, earth and skySomehow I just don't believe it
Runaway train, never goin' backWrong way on a one way trackSeems like I should be getting somewhereSomehow I'm neither here nor there
Bought a ticket for a runaway trainLike a madman laughin' at the rainA little out of touch, little insaneJust easier than dealin' with the pain
Runaway train, never goin' backWrong way on a one way trackSeems like I should be getting somewhereSomehow I'm neither here nor there
Runaway train never comin' backRunaway train, tearin' up the trackRunaway train, burnin' in my veinsI run away, but it always seems the same
