You say you heard when your name was spoken
but you can't even read my spelling
Some of us are ashamed that it's broken
but we're not the ones that you see yelling

We're running on empty 'cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused
We're running on empty 'cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused

You say we're coming apart with the motion
But narrow-mindedness will keep us sinking
That kind of thing decimates my devotion
But there's nothing there to stop us thinking

We're running on empty 'cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused
We're running on empty 'cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused

You say you heard when your name was spoken
But you can't even read my spelling
Some of us are ashamed that it's broken
But we're not the ones that you see yelling

We're running on empty 'cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused
We're running on empty 'cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused
