I'm running on empty, I'm breathing thin air I'm lost in the static, beyond all repair But I see a signal, a flickering light Gonna hold on forever, and make it through the night

I'm running on empty, breathing thin air A ghost in the city, with nobody there Just me and the echoes, and a promise I keep I'll find my way back from this desolate deep

I'm on empty, breathing thin air With nothing to hold on, and nobody to care But a spark in the darkness, a flicker of hope A single lifeline to which I can elope

I'm on empty, breathing thin air I've got nothing to lose, and no one to fear So I'm pushing right through, with all that I've got Gonna light up the darkness, forget what I'm not.
