Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch 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
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

{Chorus:}
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I´m neither here no 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 drownin´ in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don´t believe it

{Chorus}

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin´ at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never comin´ back
Runaway train tearin´ up the track
Runaway train burnin´ in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
