Running on Empty

I once knew a girl, her name's Mariama

We'd have sleepovers in purple pajamas

We'd camp out in a tent in her backyard

Tell each other our secrets under the cover of stars

She was my best friend for a time but that was too long ago

Now I see her photos online and wonder how she's grown

I don't know if she thinks about me at all now

But she's all that my thoughts will allow

How do the people we love

Become people we know

Become people we forget

And we let go

I don't know

I hope you don't regret me

I'm running on empty

I once knew a boy, his name is Jonny

He taught me to skateboard and we laughed when I busted my knee

And I liked him a lot, doesn't matter now anyways

He's out of my life but I wish he'd stayed

How do the people we love

Become people we know

Become people we forget

And we let go

I don't know

I hope you don't regret me

I'm running on empty

Running away from every mistake

Where are they now?

Running away from every mistake

Where are they now?

Running away from everyone who made me feel something somehow

Where are they now?

How do the people we love

Become people we know

Become people we forget

And we let go

I don't know

I hope you don't regret me

I'm running on empty
