Call you up in the middle of the night
 Like a firefly without a light
 You were there like a slowtorch burning
 Was a key that could use a little turning
 
 So tired that I couldn't eat or sleep
 So many secrets I couldn't keep
 I 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 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?
 Last 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
 
 And everything is cold and dry,
 Day and night, earth and sky,
 Somehow I just don't believe it
 
 Runaway train, never going back
 Wrong 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
 A little out of touch, a little insane
 Just easier than dealing with the pain
 
 Runaway train, never going back
 Wrong on a one-way track
 Seems like I should be getting somewhere
 Somehow I'm neither here nor there
 
 Runaway train, never coming back
 Runaway train, tearing up the tracks
 Runaway train, burning in my veins
 I run away but it always seems the same
