Livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes
Trying to hold it all together with whiskey and glue
Like we've been on pause too long
Need to find the resume
Livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes

When the honeymoon ends, real life moves in
You wake up in the mornin', sometimes it's coffee and gin
Hard to keep it all runnin' smooth
Stuck in that day-to-day groove
Livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes

Yeah, livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes
Trying to hold it all together with whiskey and glue
Like we've been on pause too long
Need to find the resume
Livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes, yeah

So you keep on poundin', like a hammer to the stone
Yeah, you keep on swingin' till the rock is all gone
You just do the best you can do
And maybe that sky will turn a little blue
Livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes

Yeah, we're livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes
Trying to hold it all together with whiskey and glue
Like we've been on pause too long
Need to find the resume
Livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes

You both love each other
Lord knows that you do
But you're livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes

Yeah, you're livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes
Trying to hold it all together with whiskey and glue
Like we've been on pause too long
Need to find the resume
Livin' on empty, lovin' on fumes
Yeah, livin' on empty and lovin' on fumes
