I tried on my graduation robes for the first time today...
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...
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...
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.
Bought a ticket for a runaway train,
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane -
It's 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...
