Runnin' Scared - Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties

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

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

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

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

Well, I’m gonna go to Georgia

I’m gonna smile in the sun

I’m gonna pick you some wild day-lilies and I’m gonna hold on to ‘em

I’m gonna keep ‘em in my pocket 'til you let me back home

Oh, I’m gonna go to Georgia and I’m coming back whole

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

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
