Running On Empty

Verse 1 (male voice spoken/rap)
Pushing limits, trying to get by
Like so many others, working through the night
4am is really tough, no more coffee breaks
Hope there's no mistakes
So tired...Running on Empty

Chorus (female voice sung)
Baby, thinking of you
Watching while you sleep, feelin it too
Working nights, I work days
Pass each other on our way
I'm feeling blue
Running on empty

Verse 2 (male voice spoken/rap)
Dragging home, I try to sleep
Woken up to noise on the street
My minds in a haze, messed up, don't know the date
Wonder...what's happening while I sleep
So tired...Running on Empty

Break... 
(female voice run down)
Ah a a ...Ah a a...Ah a a...Ah a a Ah h h x2
(male voice repeat rap)
Workin shift/workin shift/workin shift/workin shift x2
 
Verse 3 and Chorus together
(male voice spoken/rap) and(female voice sung) 
F-Baby, so much to do
M-Together time is a struggle, to spend time as a couple
F-You need your sleep, I need you too
M-Show my love by being thoughtful, even though I'm feeling lustful
F-You work nights, I work days
M-Missing you when we're apart, leaving you in the dark
F-Pass each other on our way
M-You mean so much and fill my heart
F-I'm feelin blue
M-I just want to be with you

So tired...Running on Empty
