**Lyrics:** [Intro, Clean guitar, Male Vocal 1] You awake? [Male Vocal 2] Unfortunately [Verse 1, Male Vocal 1] I missed your call, I was staring at the ceiling Had a whole damn day, don't remember what I did My room's a mess, there's a plate beside my bed And three unread messages I swear I'll answer yet Everybody asks what the hell is wrong I make some joke and change the song I don't have a reason, wish I did I'm just tired of pretending this is it [Pre-Chorus, Male Vocal 2] Yeah, I know that look I've worn it all week You don't gotta make it sound deep [Chorus, Male Duo] We're running on empty again Half a tank and nowhere to spend it Say we're fine 'cause it's easier then Explaining why we don't fucking mean it Running on empty again Laugh too loud when somebody checks in If you don't know where the hell you've been Get in We're running on empty again [Verse 2, Male Vocal 2] I slept till noon with the curtains shut My phone died and I didn't charge it up Had plans tonight, said I wasn't feeling well Truth is I just didn't feel like being myself My dad says I should get out more My friends keep showing up at my door I know they mean well, that's the worst damn part 'Cause I don't know how to tell them where to start [Pre-Chorus, Male Vocal 1] Yeah, I know that trick Say you're just tired Then stay awake till five [Chorus, Male Duo] We're running on empty again Half a tank and nowhere to spend it Say we're fine 'cause it's easier then Explaining why we don't fucking mean it Running on empty again Laugh too loud when somebody checks in If you don't know where the hell you've been Get in We're running on empty again [Post-Chorus, Male Duo] Oh-oh Not dead, not fixed Just somewhere in the middle of this shit Oh-oh No clue what's next But I guess we're not done yet [Verse 3, Male Vocal 1] Remember that night we drove nowhere? Gas station coffee, freezing air You said, man, I think I'm losing my mind I said cool, mine's been gone since July [Male Vocal 2] You laughed so hard you missed the turn We ended up twenty miles from where we were Didn't fix shit, but for a little while I forgot I hadn't meant my smile [Pre-Chorus, Male Duo] Maybe that's enough tonight No big answer, no advice Just don't make me sit here alone [Bridge, Half-time drums, Male Vocal 1] I don't need you to save me [Male Vocal 2] Good, 'cause I don't know how [Male Vocal 1] Just pick me up when it gets too quiet [Male Vocal 2] I'm already outside [Male Duo] No speeches No bullshit No pretending we're over it Turn the key Pick a road We don't have to fucking know [Instrumental Break, Melodic guitar] [Final Chorus, Male Duo, Gang vocals] We're running on empty again Half a tank but fuck it, let's spend it Say we're fine, then laugh at ourselves 'Cause neither one of us really meant it Running on empty again Windows down at 2 AM If you don't know where the hell you've been Get in We're running on empty again Yeah, we're running on empty again But at least I got a friend in the passenger seat Who gets this shit [Post-Chorus, Male Duo] Oh-oh Not fixed, not gone Just driving till the morning comes Oh-oh No clue what's next But I guess we're not done yet [Outro, Clean guitar] [Male Vocal 2] You got gas money? [Male Vocal 1] Nope [Male Vocal 2] You're fucking useless [Male Vocal 1] You called me [Male Vocal 2] Fair
