   Lyrics: Runaway Train (Official HD Video)

   Call you up in the middle of the night
   Like a firefly without a light
   You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
   I was a key that could use a little turnin'
   
   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
   
   Runaway train, never goin' back
   Wrong way, on a one way track
   Seems like I should be gettin' 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 history seems so faded
   
   I can go where no one else can go
   I know what no one else knows
   Here I am just a drownin' in the rain
   With a ticket for a runaway train
   
   And everything seems cut and dry
   Day and night, earth and sky
   Somehow I just don't believe it
   
   Runaway train, never goin' 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 a runaway train
   Like a madman laughin' at the rain
   A little out of touch, little insane
   Just easier than dealin' with the pain
   
   Runaway train, never goin' back
   Wrong way on a one way track
   Seems like I should be getting somewhere
   Somehow I'm neither here nor there
   
   Runaway train never comin' back
   Runaway train, tearin' up the track
   Runaway train, burnin' in my veins
   I run away, but it always seems the same
