I keep running on empty roads

Nobody waiting nobody knows

I gave everything she gave it back

Now I run the night on a one way track

I keep running on empty roads

 

Before the sun breaks

I'm already gone

Alarm's just noise

I've been up since dawn

I move through this city like it owes me a debt

The kind of tired that a night can't reset

I skip the small talk

Skip the slow lane crowd

I eat alone

But I eat well and proud

 

But when the work stops

And the room goes still

I reach for something

That isn't there still

 

I keep running on empty roads

Nobody waiting nobody knows

I gave everything she gave it back

Now I run the night on a one way track

I keep running on empty roads

 

She said I made her feel like a calendar date

A placeholder kissed at the end of a late

I heard every word

And I stood there straight

By the time I found the words

She'd already changed the plate

I still pass the restaurant

We used to close down

Same table in the corner different faces in our town

 

And when the work stops

And the room goes still

I reach for something

That isn't there still

 

I keep running on empty roads

Nobody waiting nobody knows

I gave everything she gave it back

Now I run the night on a one way track

I keep running on empty roads
