Runaway Train

Published on 12 April 2025 at 15:21

Last night I was drinking coffee and at a little cool shop. Then a song I haven't heard in forever came across my earbuds. It was a song called Runaway train by Soul Asylum. Man, I forgot how cool that song was and fits my situation and my whole life perfectly. I'll share lyrics and video below. Not my words, but fuck it hits my heart.

 

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
