A girl I knew grew up in an institution, she was an orphan and all alone. She worked hard and made a contribution, went to Yale and now she has a home. And now the girl seemed to have it all, picture perfect hanging on the wall. She took a turn down the wrong way, no one knows where she's today. Things are never easy or what they seem. Are you stuck in a nightmare or living the dream.
Chorus
If you're running on empty the battery is low, you lost your sense of direction and you don't know where the hell you're supposed to go. If you want to play it safe then just close your eyes. Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you and taking you by surprise. Do you really want to wait until it is too late for your twist of fate.
Verse 2
You feel you've been raised in the darkness, they tell you how to be and how to live your life. Reality can be painful 'cuz no one has a list of what's wrong or right. They can neither love or harm you by placing it all right in your hand. Or you can lose it in a second, they will never understand. Things are never easy or what they seem. Are you stuck in a nightmare or living the dream.
Chorus
If you're running on empty the battery is low, you lost your sense of direction and you don't know where the hell you're supposed to go. If you want to play it safe then just close your eyes. Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you and taking you by surprise. Do you really want to wait until it is too late for your twist of fate.
Bridge
You can build it up or break it down, turn the picture upside down. Listen to your inner voice, it's your choice. Now is now, make or break, take in life what you can take, but most of all be the master of your fate.
If you want to play it safe then just close your eyes. Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you and taking you by surprise.
Chorus
If you're running on empty the battery is low, you lost your sense of direction and you don't know where the hell you're supposed to go. If you want to play it safe then just close your eyes.
