Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

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 (1)______________ 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 (2)____________ astray

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be (3)______________ somewhere
Somehow I'm neither (4)________ nor there

Can you (5)________ me remember how to smile?
Make it (6)______________ 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 (7)________ what no one (8)________ knows
Here I am (9)________ a-drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
And (10)____________________ seems cut and dried
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 (11)______________ somewhere
Somehow I'm (12)______________ here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman (13)________________ at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing (14)________ the pain
Runaway train, (15)__________ going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I (16)____________ be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm (17)______________ here nor there
Runaway train, never coming back
Runaway train, (18)______________ up the track
Runaway train, burning in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same
