“For some of you this song will be about your partner. About your relationship. And in a way, that’s what it is for me, too. To me, it’s about my relationship with music. At times it feels extremely one sided. It deals with that type of frustration…”
Verse 1:
The power you have over me
The control
Is a chain I can't shake
You are my home
You speak of our future
Always promising more
You're not letting me in
It's just my foot in the door
Pre-chorus:
You own me
So be it
I'll do what you say
My life is in your hands
I've no choice but to stay
Chorus:
Somebody hold me
I'm running on fumes
I'm feeling like I'm late
Dead-wrong, tired and bruised
Somebody hold me
I live in a world
That doesn't seem to want me
Oh, I'm running on fumes
Verse 2:
I'm burning through life
There's so much that I've lost
Relationships, friends
My best years are on pause
You are the reason I'm not alive anymore
For you I became the man that's always alone
Pre-chorus:
You own me
So be it
I'll do what you say
My life is in your hands
I've no choice but to stay
Chorus:
Somebody hold me
I'm running on fumes
I'm feeling like I'm late
Dead-wrong, tired and bruised
Somebody hold me
I live in a world
That doesn't seem to want me
Oh, I'm running on fumes
[Bridge / Instrumental]
Chorus: [x2]
Somebody hold me
I'm running on fumes
I'm feeling like I'm late
Dead-wrong, tired and bruised
Somebody hold me
I live in a world
That doesn't seem to want me
Oh, I'm running on fumes
