Running On Empty

Verse 1:

Running on empty 

98 chevy

fill up the tank

make love in the backseat 

ice cold soda

bare tan shoulders

shiver at the thought

of young love getting older 

Pre: 

cigarette smoke

vintage clothes

always pretending we know what we don’t know

Red stained cheeks 

perfect wall art piece

over time, edges crease

colors bleed

Hook:

If I could turn back time

I’d take this memory and hit rewind

Don’t give a damn if you’ll be with me forever 

You might be a stranger tomorrow

With no words left to swallow

Verse:2

Running in circles

Slamming on tables 

Funny how love can turn into betrayal

Pre: 

cigarette smoke

vintage clothes

always pretending we know what we don’t know

Indian summer

dreading the winter

why do we think

things can last forever

Hook:

If I could turn back time

I’d take this memory and hit rewind

Don’t give a damn if you’ll be with me forever 

You might be a stranger tomorrow

With no words left.. so I will 

keep my fingers crossed 

To find someone again if we get lost 

Maybe somehow someway we rewrite the stars 

take a shot in the dark on tomorrow 

With no words left to swallow 

Outro:

I cross my heart and hope to die 

I’ll never leave this love behind 

I cross my heart and hope to die 

I’ll never leave this love behind
