And everything seems cut and dry
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Call you up in the middle of the night
Can you help me remember how to smile
Day and night, earth and sky
Here I am just drowning in the rain
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
I run away but it always seems the same
I was a key that could use a little turning
It seems no one can help me now
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
Like a firefly without a light
Little out of touch, little insane
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
One more promise I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
Runaway train burning in my veins
Runaway train never coming back
Runaway train never going back
Runaway train tearing up the track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Wrong way on a one way track
Wrong way on a one way track
