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 could 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 into deep
Theres'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 worthwile
How on heart 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 know
Here I am just drownin'in the rain
with a ticket for the runaway train
Everything is cut and dry 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 the runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at thre rain
A little out of touch little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehom I'm neither here nor there
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train bruni' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same.
Street are filled with broken glass
you get buried by the past, give me just
a little taste, lay this mess to waste,
Take me home.
My mind is racing take me home, my body's
aching so alone, I'll make you want to stay
with me befriended by the enemy, one more time
Chorus:
Every little thing about you tells me nothing out
there is ever gonna help me all these words that
I hear spoken - just promises broken now
Looking outside from the window sill throw another
coin in the wishing well, you'll never find what
your looking for, 15 miles your dim light shines
from so far away, your sad smile, is all I see
when I say
Repeat chorus
From the hotel satellite don't look like you're livin'
right here's a deal you can't refuse, you ain't got as
much to lose Can you tell your troubles to someone
who won't laugh at you, It's alright. And as I watch
you walk away hope a part of you will stay, it's alright
