I can't sleep, I want to leave tonight

Emotions changing like traffic lights

The road is calling, but I'm on empty

These midnight travelers keep on whispering

I'll be lost in fear and trembling

 A heart that's wondering is always wandering

Middle of the night, I am a runaway

Thumbing rides out on the freeway

Keep that engine running, maybe I'll reach the light of day

I'm a stranger in my own skin Hearing voices I can't comprehend

Try to silence all these phantom limbs

Middle of the night, I am a runaway

For miles and miles of midnight highway

Keep that engine running, maybe I'll reach the light of day

Was this a darkness I was meant to find

As a part of my original design

This anxiety won't define me

Middle of the night, I am a runaway I face my fears out on the freeway

Middle of the night, don't let me run away For miles and miles of this midnight highway

Keep that engine running, maybe We'll reach the light of day
