I keep wishing you'd fly away
How can you hold yourself down?
You carry on like this every other day
You're turning into the sound

You've got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on your mind
You tell me everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight

You say "I love you in another way,"
You say you're leaving this town
You drive me up to your hideaway, as you were burning it down

You've got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on your mind
Tell you everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight

I need a reason to keep away, or get up off my back
I can't stop it or turn away till I run out of track

I got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on my mind
I'll tell you everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight
On a runaway train tonight
On a runaway train tonight (On a runaway)
On a runaway train tonight
