Call you up in the middle of the night

Like a firefly without a light

It seems no one can help me now

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

Runaway train never going back

Wrong way on a one-way track

Seems like I should be getting 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 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

Day and night, earth and sky

Wrong way on a one-way track
