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 couldn't even 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 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 mysteries seem so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drowning in the rain with a ticket for a runaway train.

And 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 laughing at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane. It's just easier than dealing with the pain.

Runaway train never coming back
Runaway train tearing up the track
Runaway train burning in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same.
