call you up in the middle of the night
like a firefly without a light.
you were there like a blow torch burning.
i was a key that i could use a little turning.
so tired i couldn't 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 really led myself away.
runaway train never going back,
wrong way on a one way track.
seems like i should be getting somewhere.
some how i'm neither here or there.
can you help me remember how to smile.
make it somehow all seem worth a while.
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.
ev'rything seems 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.
some how i'm neither here or there.
bought a ticket for a runaway train.
like a mad man laughin' at the rain,
little out of touch, little insane.
just easier than dealing with the pain.
