Lyrics

You asked me to drive you to a psychic
And you seemed pretty scared in the car
But I told you you should try it
I don't even believe in psychics
Every hero needs a sidekick
And I'm happy just playing the part
But you keep sticking the knife in
Every time you bring him up, it's like I'm not enough
Yeah you keep me close
Till you cut me off
Cause you found someone just like me
And I'm still stuck
On the thought of us
Cause we never got the timing
Someone's always got a head start
I just sit and watch from second
I'm driving with the lights off
It hurts but I'll never say it
Almost enough
So close, but so far
If I can't hold you in my arms
Then I'll be a runner up
Now it's become a vicious cycle
You come over at midnight and ask me to put out
The fires you start when they break your heart
And I've been the answer from the start
Yeah you keep me close
Till you cut me off
Cause you found someone just like me
And I'm still stuck
On the thought of us
But I don't really mind it
Someone's always got a head start
I just sit and watch from second
I'm driving with the lights off
It hurts but I'll never say it
Almost enough
So close, but so far
If I can't hold you in my arms
Then I'll be a runner up
Then I'll be a runner up
Almost
Enough
So close
But so far
If I can't hold you in my arms
Then I'll be a runner up
