Runaway Train Lyrics by Smith & Myers

Acoustic Sessions EP, Pt. 1

2014

[Verse 1]
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'
[Verse 2]
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
I promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile?
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mysteries seem so faded
[Bridge]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
A little out of touch, little insane
It's just easier than dealin' with the pain
[Outro]
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
