Lyrics by: Dave Pirner

Composed by: Dave Pirner

Jamie N Commons:

Oh

Gallant:

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 couldn't even sleep

So many secrets I couldn't keep

Promised myself I wouldn't weep

One more promise I couldn't keep

Skylar Grey:

It seems no one can help me now

I'm in too deep there's no way out

This time I have really lead myself astray

All:

Runaway train never going back

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train never going back

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Jamie N Commons/ Skylar Grey:

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

I can go where no one else can go

I know what no one else knows

Here I am just drowning in the rain

With a ticket for a runaway train

Gallant/ Jamie N Commons:

Everything seems cut and dry

Day and night earth and sky

Somehow I just don't believe it

No

No

All:

Runaway train never going back

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train never going back

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Skylar Grey:

Bought a ticket for a runaway train

Like a madman laughing at the rain

A little out of touch a little insane

It's just easier than dealing with the pain

All:

Runaway train never going back

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train never coming back

Runaway train tearing up the track

Runaway train burning in my veins

I run away but it always seems the same
