Running on a Pilot Light

I've been running on a pilot light

Just a flicker but it keeps me going

Lately, it's been so hard to find

Every night I get a little low

But every day, I get a little bit closer

To finding out it's been here the whole time

Oh, and when it's dim

I know it's temporary

Even when I'm close to empty

I've been running on a pilot light

Fueling fire just to get me by

Hold my hands up and I close my eyes

To feel something, I keep running

Hope I make it through another year

Without burning in the atmosphere

And if I'm burning, then at least I'm feeling

Something, I keep running, I keep running

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

Sometimes I wake up with my eyes closed

'Cause I've been living with a mind half open

Guess you really gotta see it, to believe it

I've been wearing thin

And I know it's temporary

Even when I'm close to empty

I've been running on a pilot light

Fueling fire just to get me by

Hold my hands up and I close my eyes

To feel something, I keep running

Hope I make it through another year

Without burning in the atmosphere

And if I'm burning, then at least I'm feeling

Something, I keep running, I keep running

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh

I spend my whole life running

To feel something, to feel something

I spend my whole life running

To feel something, to feel something

I've been running on a pilot light

Fueling fire just to get me by

Hold my hands up and I close my eyes

To feel something, I keep running

Hope I make it through another year

Without burning in the atmosphere

And if I'm burning, then at least I'm feeling

Something, I keep running, I keep running
