"Runaway Train"
Call you up in the middle of the night,
Like a firefly without a light,
You were there like a slow torch 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,
Promise myself I wouldn't breathe,
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,
Lead myself astray.
Runaway train never going back,
Runaway on a one way track,
Seems like we 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 drowning 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.
(yeah, yeah)
Runaway train never going back,
Runaway on a one way track,
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Bought a ticket for a runaway train,
I came back there laughing at the rain,
A little out of touch a little insane,
Just easier than dealing with the pain.
Runaway train never going back,
Runaway on a one way track,
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.
Runaway train never going back,
Runaway train's heading up the track,
Runaway train burning in my veins,
Runaway but it all seems the same.
(Runaway, runaway)
