Runnin’ Scared

[Verse 1]
I'm stuck on a memory of you dancing in a backyard in North Jersey
You're holding sparklers and silhouetted by the porch lights on a summer evening
So while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth
It occurred to me you used to be happy

[Chorus]
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing, asleep in the backseat
Oh god, I'm shaking, I'm empty
I feel so damn empty

[Verse 2]
Well, I keep thinking that I'll feel better when it's warmer across state lines
Now I'm scraping ice off of the windshield with a piece of broken taillight
And oh, I wouldn't quite call it homesick
But I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic

[Chorus]
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing, asleep in the backseat
Oh god, I'm shaking, I'm empty
I feel so damn empty

[Bridge]
Well, I'm gonna go to Georgia
I'm gonna smile in the sun
Gonna pick you some wild daylilies
And I'm gonna hold on to ‘em
Gonna keep ‘em in my pocket
Till you let me back home
Well, I'm gonna go to Georgia
And I'm coming back whole

[Chorus]
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing, asleep in the backseat
Oh god, I'm shaking, I'm empty
I feel so damn empty

[Chorus]
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing, asleep in the backseat
Oh god, I'm shaking, I'm empty
I feel so damn empty
