still waiting

I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I asked "Where've you been?"
He said "Ask anything."

Where were you when everything was falling apart?
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad

The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me

runaway

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

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did i get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so faded

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway but it always seems the same
