Runnin' Scared

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.
 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.
 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.
 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 them.
 I'm gonna keep them in my pocket Til you let me back home.
 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.
