[Verse 1]
Don't call, don't write, don't speak my name
Though we've tried this twice
I'm just another face
Even when you're running out of luck
You think we'll get it right this time
Get it right, all right, all right, all right
[Chorus]
Run, in another five months you'll be alone
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
You gotta get used to going out
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
[Verse 2]
By now, by now, I'm sure you've heard
So you called me yesterday
But I had nothin' to say
Message said I'm running out of time
So, so much for the honesty
Because after all, you know you've won
[Chorus]
Run, in another five months you'll be alone
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
You gotta get used to going out
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
[Bridge]
I'll write you one more song
Spell it out for you to leave you
Where you're standing now
You're running out of lies
So, so much for the honesty
Because after all, you know you've won
[Chorus/Outro]
Run, in another five months you'll be alone
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
You gotta get used to going out
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
To the places, to the places we used to go
To the places, to the places we used to go
