In The Long Run

[Verse 1]
Since you've been gone, I've been thinking 'bout it all
Since you've been gone, I've been bouncing off the wall
I know it's wrong to be mixing alcohols
Love before liquor, never been sicker
Since you've been gone, I've been working overtime
Since you've been gone, I've been keeping occupied
But moving on's like a full-time 9-to-5
Wheeling and dealing just to forget the feeling

[Pre-Chorus]
Of you in my arms
How does something so right end up so wrong?

[Chorus]
Now I'm in somebody else's bed, thinking 'bout you and me
Trying to clear my head, but I get no clarity
Cause even when I'm with someone
I'm still coming up short in the long run

[Verse 2]
Got to admit I am short here while it lasts
Got to admit that the morning's kick my ass
I reminisce about us after the fact
High as the ceiling, just to forget the feeling

[Pre-Chorus]
Of you in my arms
How does something so right end up so wrong?

[Chorus]
Now I'm in somebody else's bed, thinking 'bout you and me
Trying to clear my head, but I get no clarity
Cause even when I'm with someone
I'm still coming up short in the long run
In the long run
In the long run

[Bridge]
No quick fix for this disease
When a heart breaks you gotta let it bleed
No quick for this disease
When a heart breaks you gotta let it bleed

[Chorus]
Now I'm in somebody else's bed, thinking 'bout you and me
Trying to clear my head, but I get no clarity
Cause even when I'm with someone
I'm still coming up short in the long run
Still coming up short in the long run
I'm in somebody else's bed
I get no clarity
